This recipe was given to me by my dear friend Heather, I changed it only a little to include more vegetables. Not only do the veggies add nutritional value but it stretches the recipe as well. By all means fell free to omit them but I think they are a great addition.
Ingredients
1 pound bulk italian sausage (or links with casing removed)
2 garlic cloves - minced
1 large onion - diced
1 zucchini - chopped
1 yellow squash - chopped
2 carrots - diced
2 - 15oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 - 15oz can of tomato sauce
2 Tbsp fresh oregano (or 1 Tbsp dried)
2 cups of chicken or beef stock
2 cups water
salt and pepper
Package of fresh tortellini
Parmesan cheese
In a large heavy bottomed stock pot or french oven brown sausage in 2 tsp olive oil breaking it up as it cooks. When it is half browned add in the garlic, onion, zucchini, squash and carrots. Continue cooking over medium heat until sausage is fully brown and vegetables have softened a bit.
Add tomatoes, oregano stock and water. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add tortellini and cook until tender.
Serve pipping hot with parmesan cheese to top
With just some garlic bread this is a wonderfully hearty meal that tastes much like a pot of pizza!
Enjoy!
Need a french oven? These from Le Creuset are my favorite!
