Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 jar, 24 oz. marinara sauce
  • cup water
  • 1 package, 20 oz. fresh tortellini
  • 5 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions
 

  • To begin, saute the Italian sausage until browned. Drain off any excess grease if you need to.
  • Pour in the marinara sauce, along with the water. (I recommend putting the water in your jar, giving it a quick shake and then pouring it into the skillet. That way you get every last drop of sauce out of the jar.)
  • Add in the fresh tortellini. Stir this all together and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the tortellini is just cooked. Stir it occasionally. While it cooks, shred the mozzarella cheese.
  • When the tortellini is just cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it sit for a minute or two, just until the cheese is melted. That’s it!
  • Enjoy this simple meal.
