Submitted by happynana

"Nice fast meal to fix for dinner. It is from a Taste of Homes magazine. I did use frozen tortellini, left out the green pepper (DH does not like them) and use half-half cream."

This recipe is a keeper in my book. Great way to use up leftover (from breakfast) sausage. I served with freshly ground black pepper and nutmeg.
