Just start near the end and squeeze. It comes right out. So easy. You can squeeze it directly into the pan. No muss, no fuss.
Now, I took a picture of me doing this, to show you exactly how easy it is, but let’s just say… It did not go well. It ended up looking…. uh… less than family-friendly. So, needless to say (since my mom reads this blog) I will not be subjecting you to that picture here. However, you’ll not be surprised to learn that I did immediately text it to all my friends and we very maturely dissolved into a fit of uncontrollable giggles.
It was pretty bad. Kevin just shook his head and rolled his eyes, but I could tell he was mortified.
ANYWAY. Hopefully the picture above is sufficient. It really is easy.
Oh, and I’m sorry I said “squeeze” while pointing at a sausage. SORRY!!!
Please still make this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 lb mild Italian sausage
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup regular or heavy cream
- 9 ounces tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, loosely packed
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. When the oil is very hot, add the onions. Squeeze the sausage from the end of the link to remove it from its casing and add directly into the pan. Use a spatula to break up the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Reduce heat to low, then add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add broth, tomatoes, cream, and tortellini to the skillet. Stir to combine. Increase heat and bring to a boil.
- Cover, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until tortellini are tender and heated through. Taste the sauce and add plenty of salt and pepper to taste. I used 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Add spinach and stir until softened and wilted. Remove from heat and serve.
