Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 9 ounces andouille sausage sliced
• 1/2 large onion chopped
• 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 9 ounces cheese tortellini
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

• In a sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add sliced andouille sausage and onions and cook until sausage is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
• Add diced tomatoes, chicken stock, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and tortellini. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce to medium-low heat. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until tortellini are cooked through. Most of the liquid should be absorbed in this step. If not, feel free to remove some liquid from the pan. Leave just enough to make a sauce in the next step.
• Reduce heat to low. Slice cream cheese into chunks and add to tortellini mixture. Stir mixture until cream cheese is melted and combined.
• Remove from heat. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Optionally, slice scallions and sprinkle on top as a garnish.
