8 ounces bulk Italian sausage
1 jar (24 ounces) pasta sauce with mushrooms

Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in pasta sauce; heat through.
