Ingredientes

1 lb raw mild or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed if needed

1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

32 oz low-sodium chicken broth

8 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini

5 oz baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)

1 cup half-and-half

Instrucciones

Step 1

Cook raw Italian sausage in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in yellow onion, garlic cloves, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the sausage mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to cook the floury taste out.

Step 3

Stir in low-sodium chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any stuck-on bits. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a lively simmer.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 5

Stir in cheese tortellini and baby spinach. Cook for 1 minute less than the package instructions for the tortellini. Stir in half-and-half. Taste and season with more kosher salt and black pepper as needed.
