INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (8 ounce) package baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio), divided
3 cloves garlic, minced, divided

1 (16 ounce) package three-cheese tortellini
14 1/2 ounces basil pesto sauce (such as Prego(R))
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
How to make Italian Sausage Tortellini
Step 1: In a large deep skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms, half a cup of white wine, and a clove of minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is lessened and the mushrooms are softened. Once done, remove from the heat and transfer into a bowl.
Step 2: Using the same skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium-high heat. Stir and divide the sausage into bite-sized portions and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until browned and crumbly. Once done, transfer the sausage onto a plate with paper towels to remove excess grease.
Step 3: Return the cooked sausage and mushrooms into the skillet. Add in the tortellini, basil pesto sauce, the rest of the white wine, and garlic.
Step 4: Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook for approximately 10 minutes, covered, while occasionally stirring.
Step 5: Add in the spinach and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Mix until incorporated.
Step 6: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and serve. Enjoy!
