Ingredients
- 1 lb mild or spicy Italian sausage
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 2 celery stalks finely diced
- 1 large carrot finely diced
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp ground fennel seeds
- 1 6 oz can tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 14 oz tortellini
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 handfuls spinach
- shredded Parmesan cheese for serving
Recipe Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, breaking into small pieces. When the sausage is mostly cooked, add the onion, carrot, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring.
- Add the garlic, spices, and tomato paste. Cook for a few more minutes or until fragrant. Stir to prevent the paste from burning.
- Add the chicken broth, scraping the bottom. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add in the heavy cream, tortellini, and spinach at a low simmer. Mix to combine. Simmer until the tortellini are al dente. Serve and top with Parmesan cheese.
