Creamy Tomato Tortellini with Sausage

yield  6 servings
 start to finish   25 minutes

1 pkg (19oz) frozen cheese tortellini
2 fully cooked Italian chicken sausage links (3oz each), sliced
1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
1 pkg (6oz) fresh baby spinach
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese

1.  Cook tortellini according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir the sausage over a medium-high heat 4-5 minutes or until browned.  Add tomatoes and spinach; cook and stir just until the spinach is wilted.  Stir in cream cheese until melted.

2.  Drain tortellini; add to sausage mixture.  Toss to combine.


We used all the sausages that came in the pack (it was either 3 or 4 links), and this was plenty to feed 3 of us and enough for me to have lunch at work the following day.  I also used a 10oz pkg of baby spinach, as the store did not have a smaller pkg size.  

Very yummy!
