Sausage Tortellini Alfredo

"A wonderful combination of rich alfredo sauce and three cheese tortellini -with veggies and Italian sausage to make matters worse (or better!). This is not for the faint of heart for calories, but that's why they invented the "just a garden salad for me" lunch! :) This recipe looks fancy enough for company but uses pre-made sauces and pasta for convenience. I have used Buitoni refrigerated pasta and sauce as well as those listed in the recipe. Using homemade versions could only make it tastier!"

  1. This is simple and delicious. I didn't have mushrooms, so I used yellow squash zucchini and it was wonderful. Instead of buying a can of alfredo, I just made some (cream, garlic and parmesan). I found that this could use a bit more kick and so I added about 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper at the end. Both my husband and our friends that were over all voted to have this again!
     
  2. I love Italion sausage and this recipe is a perfect use of the ingredient. This is in restraunt good, thanks for posting.
     
  3. This was very good and very easy. I can't wait to make it this summer and add fresh veggies from the garden.
     
  4. This made a quick and easy meal served with a green salad and bread. I added a 10oz box of frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) and used a red pepper instead of the green. I also chopped the mushrooms rather than slicing. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring "08 Pick A Chef.

40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after! I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat... I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe". <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish3.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/wahm_coder/daffies1-1.jpg" > <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
