Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring crispy roasted sausage, tortellini, and vegetables with a savory, comforting flavor and satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 ounces (255 grams) cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) Italian sausage, casing removed (pork, turkey, or chicken)
  • 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced (red or yellow)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (150 grams) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Handful of fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Remove casings from the sausage and crumble into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked sausage, slice it.
  3. Thinly slice the bell pepper and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the garlic cloves.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tortellini, sausage, bell peppers, onion, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, turning everything over gently halfway through (around 10 minutes) to brown all sides evenly.
  7. Check for doneness: sausage should be cooked through and tortellini edges golden and crispy. For extra crispiness, roast an additional 3–5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped basil or parsley. Let sit for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Turn ingredients halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Use a rimmed baking sheet and optionally line with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Frozen tortellini can be used without thawing; add 1-2 minutes extra roasting time. For vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or mushrooms. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy pasta.
