Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic or garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 cups beef broth see cooks notes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces fresh cheese tortellini, such as Buitoni®
  • 2 ounces garlic, chive, and onion cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Set a large skillet over medium heat. Break up sausage into bite-sized chunks, removing any casings. Add to the pan and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate; set aside.
  3. Let the skillet cool down for about 3 minutes; place back over medium heat and add butter, then garlic. Saute for 1 minute, then add black pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; stir.
  4. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream; stir to combine.
  5. Add tortellini, cream cheese, and browned sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat, and cook until tortellini is tender, about 5 minutes. Check for doneness, and simmer for 2 or 3 minutes more if needed.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve in bowls with fresh basil on top.
