This hearty meal is cheesy cozy and comforting all in one pan. Prepared in just 35 minutes it’s everything you could want in a skillet pasta dish. By opting for Italian chicken sausage and a high-quality marinara sauce you get an explosion of rich flavors. Instead of cooking the tortellini separately in boiling water you cook them directly in the sauce allowing them to soak up all those savory flavors and the pasta starches to help thicken the sauce.

This dish is well balanced with the sweet tangy marinara sauce creamy ricotta and slightly spicy juicy chicken sausage chunks. The baby spinach is silky soft and adds a nice pop of color. The cheese tortellini are savory perfectly tender and make for a truly satisfying bite.
