It’s been so cold here in sunny Arizona – What’s up, Mother Nature? Usually we are using the A/C in February! It’s hard for me to want a salad when the weather is freezing… I just want a bowl of hot & yummy delicious comfort food. This dish completely meets that need & it’s so easy. We make versions of this on a regular basis.

First step: cook the meat. Tonight’s victim is this gorgeous sausage ring made with tomato & basil… Perfect compliment to the sauce! It comes in a tightly wound ring that looks like a pinwheel. I just stretch it out, dice & cook over low heat with a little avocado oil until done. No need to drain this one since there was very little fat.

Drain the tortellini. Add them to a large serving bowl. Pour the meat sauce over the top. If you want to be a little extra, add fresh grated parmesan & fresh thinly cut basil over the top. Serve with bread & veggies or a caesar salad. Quick & DELISH weeknight dinner!
