Tips For Best Results
- Brown the sausage well to develop deep flavor before adding the sauce ingredients.
- Use fresh spinach for a bright taste, but frozen works in a pinch—just be sure to drain it well.
- Stir the sauce gently once the cream is added to prevent curdling and keep it smooth.

Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
Step 1
Gently heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down a bit, then add the tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, basil, salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer together, stirring now and then.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, cheese, and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the veggies and bring it back to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring occasionally as the sauce thickens, which should take around 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the sauce is cooking down, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook until tender, about 6 minutes, then drain well.
Step 5
Finally, toss the cooked tortellini into the sauce, give it a good mix, and serve right away.
