Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 10–12 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 4 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
  • Lemon wedge (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage in a large pot over medium heat, 5–7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery with a pinch of salt. Cook 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. Stir in tortellini and cook at a gentle simmer until just tender and floating, 3–5 minutes.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in cream and spinach. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  7. Taste and season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if you like. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan.
