My niece shared this recipe with me, and whenever I’ve served it, I get requests for the recipe. The sausage, tortellini, tomatoes, zucchini and herbs make it different from typical stews featuring meat and potatoes. It’s a hearty one-dish meal that’s simple to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, cut up
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender. Drain. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
