Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 9-ounce package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (packed)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  3. Introduce the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, letting the delightful aroma fill the air.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.
  7. Add the tortellini to the pot and simmer for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
  8. Remove from heat, stir in the packed fresh spinach, and cover the pot. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the spinach to wilt.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy the deliciousness!

For serving, garnish each bowl with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil. A side of crusty bread is perfect for soaking up the flavorful broth.
