Ingredients
- 1 20 oz Tortellini pre-cooked & chilled
- 1 lb Italian sausage Sliced into discs
- Italian Seasoning to taste
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded or grated
- 1/2 C Butter
- 1 C Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 TBSP Garlic minced
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach roughly chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle to medium-high. Add a splash of olive oil.
- Brown the sausage until fully cooked and crispy. If using links, slice and sear both sides until golden. Remove and set aside.
- Add your tortellini to the griddle. Let them get golden-brown and slightly crispy. Flip once for even browning. After about 5 minutes per side you should have a light crisp on the pasta - place under a melting dome with water to steam for 3-4 minutes - you may need to add more water
- Toss the spinach right on the griddle next to the tortellini. Cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
- In a small skillet or griddle-safe pan, melt butter → stir in heavy cream → whisk in Parmesan and garlic powder. Simmer until smooth and creamy (2–3 minutes). Add spinach to the alfredo sauce
- Add sausage back to the tortellini. Pour Alfredo over the whole thing and toss to coat. Let it sizzle and thicken slightly on the griddle.
- A sprinkle of more Parmesan, cracked pepper, maybe some red pepper flakes. Plate it up hot!
