Ingredients
  

Halal Sausage & Tuscan Aromatics
  • 1 lb halal mild Italian turkey sausage (casings removed)
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and julienned
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Broth, Tortellini & Finishing Cream
  • 5 cups chicken bone broth (or low-sodium vegetable broth)
  • 16 oz refrigerated three-cheese tortellini
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, torn (for garnish)

Method
 

Brown Sausage & Aromatics
  1. Heat sun-dried tomato oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage, breaking into crumbles, and cook 5-6 minutes until browned.
  2. Add diced onion and sauté 3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook 2 minutes until deeply fragrant.
Simmer Tortellini & Finish
  1. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits on the pot bottom. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add tortellini and simmer 3-4 minutes until tender.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, grated parmesan, and baby spinach; stir 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with basil and parmesan, and serve warm.
