I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Britton, and it has been a favorite ever since! I normally am not a big fan of dishes with sausage, but this is truly an exception to that rule.
I don't home-make my tortellini, so just use whatever variety of tortellini you'd like. I usually get two small frozen bags of tortellini in the freezer section of the grocery store, but my sisters rave about the tortellini in the fresh pasta section of Costco.
Anyway, here's the recipe:
2 small bags tortellini (or equivalent)
1 lb Jimmy Dean's sausage (regular or Italian)
1 onion
garlic to taste
2 cans Italian diced tomatoes
Italian seasoning to taste
1/4 C butter
1/4 C flour
1/2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
3 C Milk
1. Brown sausage, onion, garlic
2. Add tomatoes and Italian seasoning and let simmer, stirring occasionally
3. While mixture is simmering, make white sauce in a separate pan on stove top:
a. melt butter and stir in flour, salt, pepper over medium to medium-high heat
b. whisk in milk
c. cook, stirring frequently, over med-high heat until thick and bubbly, then cook
and stir for one minute more
4. Combine sausage mixture with white sauce
5. Serve over cooked tortellini
