Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add sliced kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then stir to combine.
Add cheese tortellini, dried Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the chopped baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
