Why This Recipe Works

For a one-pan weeknight crowd-pleaser, we brown sweet Italian sausage and cook cheese tortellini in the same skillet.

Before You Begin

We developed this recipe with Barilla Three Cheese Tortellini. Pass extra Parmesan cheese at the table.

Instructions

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add sausage and cook, breaking meat into small pieces with spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth and pasta and bring to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and serve with Parmesan.
