Main Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 tsps minced garlic
  • 5 oz spinach
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups 2% fat milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 oz sweet ground Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup tortellini

Directions

  • Cook Italian sausage in a large stock pot over medium-high heat until browned, crumbling as it cooks. Using a slotted spoon transfer the cook sausage to a separate plate and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of grease in the pan discarding the rest.
  • Stir in onions and carrots and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add in the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Stir in the flour until it’s evenly coating the veggies, and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  • Gradually add in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cooked sausage, tortellini, spinach, and milk, and continue simmering for 5 minutes, or until the tortellini is al dente.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
