Instructions
step 1
Prepare the ingredients
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper(s). Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise.
step 2
Cook the sausage & pepper
In a large, high-sided pan (or pot for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sausage; break the meat apart with a spoon. Cook, without stirring, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil. Add the sliced pepper(s); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the pepper is slightly softened and the sausage is browned and cooked through.
step 3
Finish the tortellini & serve your dish
Add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined. Carefully add the tortellini, spinach, cream (shaking the packet before opening), romesco sauce, and 1 cup of water (or 2 cups for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 minutes, or until combined, the spinach is wilted, and the tortellini are heated through. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished tortellini garnished with the parmesan. Enjoy!
