Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion (diced)
  • 4-5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 Roma tomatoes (julienned)
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half and half
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
  • 20 ounces three cheese tortellini
  • 5-6 links Italian sweet sausage (seared and sliced)
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped basil
  • kosher salt and pepper (to taste

Instructions

  1. Quickly sear the sausage links in a cast iron pan over high heat, 3-4 minutes on all sides. Set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, saute the diced onions in the olive oil for five minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and continue sauteing until the onions are translucent.
  3. Add the julienned tomatoes, crushed tomatoes,and chicken stock and bring to a slow boil. Reduce the heat to low-medium. Add the oregano, kosher salt and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Add the grated cheese and cream and stir well. Cut the sausage into uniform slices and add to the soup along with the basil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Now add the tortellini and spinach. Continue simmering until the tortellini are cooked, trying not to overcook the spinach, about 10 more minutes.
  6. Serve while piping hot with Pecorino-Romano cheese to taste. Bon appetit!
