Sausage tortellini

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook tortellini to al dente according to package directions. Drain. While tortellini cooks, prepare veggies and sausage.
In a sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and drain excess grease from the pan.
Add onion and bell pepper to pan. Cook until brown and softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Return sausage to the pan along with cooked tortellini. Add dressing and toss until coated. Serve warm.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator and reheat well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Use store-bought dressing: Substitute the dressing ingredients with about ¼ cup of your favorite store-bought Italian dressing.
Optional garnishes: Top with chopped parsley or grated parmesan cheese just before serving.
