Ingredients Needed
All you need is
5 main ingredients to create this unforgettable weeknight dinner. As always, you can find the full printable recipe in the card below.

- Chicken Broth – low sodium
- Buitoni Alfredo Sauce – found near the refrigerated pastas

- Curly Leaf Kale
How To Make Creamy Tortellini Sausage Skillet
Like I mentioned earlier, we’re cooking everything in just ONE PAN, so make sure you start with a large one (with a lid).
MAKE SAUSAGE BALLS Roll the sausage into tiny balls, about 1/2″. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just a little bit of oil to the pan. Sear the meatballs on all sides until browned.
ADD SAUCE Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour in the Buitoni Alfredo Sauce as well as the
Buitoni Three Cheese Tortellini and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
STIR IN KALE As soon as the tortellini are plump and tender, stir in the chopped kale and let it wilt into the sauce. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired!
That’s it! How quick and easy is that?!
I’m telling you, my family gobbles this cozy dinner up every time.
What To Serve as a Side
When it comes to this one pan meal, we love to pair it with a side of crusty bread or a quick Caesar Salad. Here are some more easy side dish options for you to try…
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead Of Time?
Since this recipe comes together so quickly, I do not recommend making it in advance. However, there are a few things you can do to prep the recipe ahead of time and streamline the cooking process.
- Roll the sausage balls ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Prepare the chopped kale ahead of time and have it ready to go.
The
Buitoni Alfredo Sauce and Three Cheese Tortellini are fresh and ready to go, making it a breeze to get the whole meal on the table in under 30 minutes.
Honestly – I have tested a lot of pre-made, store bought Alfredo sauces in my life and I have NEVER tasted one as good as Buitoni. It’s miles above the rest.
