Tips for success

• If you can’t find ground Italian sausage you can buy sausage links and remove the meat from the casings.
• Prefer a little heat? Substitute hot Italian sausage and add a few dashes of red pepper flakes to the dish.
• Don’t boil the dish once the cream is added to prevent it from separating. Simply simmer the dish while the tortellini cooks.
• Add the spinach right before serving and cook just until wilted to preserve it’s bright green color.
• This dish is delicious served with a sprinkle of parmesan, but for a decadent twist, served topped with a scoop of burrata.
