Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)
  • 1 (24 oz) jar marinara or pasta sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheesy tortellini
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Alternatively, add raw sausage directly to the crockpot and cook on high for a couple of hours.
  2. Transfer the cooked sausage into the crockpot. Add marinara sauce, chicken broth, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
  4. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the tortellini and chopped spinach to ensure they are tender and flavorful.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with plant-based sausage or additional vegetables like zucchini and mushrooms.
  • If using fresh tortellini, add it during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of chicken broth to maintain moisture.
