One Pan Sausage and Tortellini from Six Sisters' Stuff

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground sausage
• 3 cups spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 20 ounces fresh tortellini
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add in the sausage, crumbling it into small pieces. Cook until browned well. Drain off any excess grease.
2. Stir in spaghetti sauce, water, Italian seasoning, and tortellini. Bring mixture to a boil.
3. Then turn heat to low, cover and simmer for about 8 minutes until tortellini is tender.
4. Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. It will melt in with the warm tortellini pasta.
5. Optional - you can sprinkle additional cheese on top before serving.

** The first time I made this I didn't really like it, but I decided to try it again.  The second time I made it I used Italian sausage instead of plain sausage, and I used frozen cheese tortellini from WinCo because it was way cheaper than fresh tortellini.  I liked it a lot better the second time and the family ate all the leftovers.
