Can’t wait to make!!!
This is fantastic!!!!
One of my favorites now all the kids love it to but we change it up sometimes and do rana garlic chicken Ravioli with no susage
Creamy, flavourful and easy clean up! 10/10 recommend!
Making this for the second time! Delicious, thank you for sharing. This time I only had a regular stick of butter and hot breakfast sausage but it was still delicious!
This seems like something that could easily be mafe in an 18wheeler… 🤔
Making this tonight. So hopeful it turns out like yours looks. Can’t wait. Will update comment once done and eaten. Thank you for sharing!!!
Made this tonight for supper it was really good but next time I would put less pepper in or or just leave it out totally wouldn’t miss it with all the seasonings.
Great recipe, made it last night and it was delish. very easy and will do it again! Thank you
I made it for something at work and everyone loved it. I came home with a empty crockpot and someone asking for more. Will definitely make it again. Sooo good 😍😍
This is amazing we absolutely loved it.
This was fantastic! My kids have asked for it again. Very easy! Thank you!
Omg delicious
Absolutely delicious!! I will be making this again
Definitely going to try this
I made this tonight. The flavor was on point and it was easy to make but unfortunately the sauce broke one me. Completely my fault because I always suck at making cheese sauces. Any tips that can help me out in the future?
I’m guessing heat was maybe a little too high.
Dang! Best I’ve made yet. The sausage and basil conpliment the sauce well, I used fresh 5 cheese tortellini 20 oz pack.
Made this for my family – it was amazing!! I substituted Italian sausage for cajun andouille sausage and it added a little more spice. Definitely will be making again!
I just made this and it’s simmering on the stove. I took 2 bits and oh my!! Knock it out of the park! The only adjustment I made was adding mushrooms. I will definitely make this again.
Made this last night and it’s delicious!!! Shared recipe with my colleagues this morning. Currently eating some for lunch!! This will go on rotation it’s that good!
I made this tonight and it was delicious. I love a one pot meal! My Husband said this recipe was a keeper.
Fantastic 1 pot recipe. Already used it twice but with ground beef and worce sauce
Awesome recipe. We don’t have the whipped cream cheese here in Australia so I just used normal spreadable cream cheese. Great flavours and will definitely be making this again
Any way to make this a freezer meal? Is it as easy as cooking but all and putting it in a freezer bag and freezing it?
I don’t typically freeze things like this bc the sauce always separates when reheating.
Absolutely loved it
Just made this. My wife and I loved it, so good! Super Market didn’t have the garlic and herb cream cheese so I used the onion and chive one instead, it worked out just fine.
We made this tonight for dinner and I added fresh baby Spanish
This was a huge hit and will be added to regular rotation! I couldn’t find whipped herb and garlic cream cheese so I used the unwhipped variety and added sliced mushrooms and halved grape tomatoes. Absolutely delicious!!
My brother and sister in law were down for a visit and made this for dinner. Everyone loved it
Thank you again for sharing.
OMG! This was delicious, and definitely adding it to my rotation.
My 9-yr old requested I make this dish and it QUICKLY made its way to the rotation! I didn’t have the garlic butter but added enough garlic to the sauce to make it worth it. Instead of the cream cheese I used Boursin cheese (garlic & herb) and it was superb! Darn grocery store was out of the family size tortellini so I grabbed 2 lbs of sausage since I had 32 ounces of tortellini. I eyeballed the beef stock to add a little more to make the sauce. If you don’t have enough heavy cream you can always add sour cream as a substitute. The entire family loves this meal and it will be on menu again soon! Won’t lie I was worried about the one-pan idea with all my extras but it truly was one pan.
This was absolutely amazing! Fan favorite at my house❤️
We loved this!! We subbed in jalapeño cream cheese for a kick and it was insane. Thank you for sharing!
Made this with spicy Italian sausage and oh-hh it’s delish!!🔥🔥
Was very easy to make and was a hit with my family. Will definitely make on our regular rotation of recipes.
My man is a long haul trucker, so I like to make him big pots of yummy to take on the road with him. I modified the recipe a little bit, doubled the sauce, added chicken, onions, spinach, and mushrooms. Chefs kiss and trucker approved ❤️💋
This was good! I kept the cream cheese plain as I don’t love the garlic & herb Philly (am a
Philly Cc addict and always have 10 plain bricks in fridge, tho)!! Just getting over a bug so left out red pepper flakes for no spice. It was delicious! Very, very rich. 18-yr old Daughter who hates sausage loved she could easily pick around the larger pieces to eat just tortellini!
I made this tonight but did not use sausage as I had Chicken Mozzarella tortellini. Because of that I used chicken broth. I added cut up grape tomatoes at the beginning and spinach at the end. My god it was amazing. Loved it.
Fantastic recipe! My family does not like sausage, so we substitute with chicken and replace beef broth with chicken broth and it’s now in our weekly rotation!
Thank you!
Made this tonight. It’s absolutely fantastic. Very flavorful and very rich. It’s like tortellini Alfredo on steroids!
Made this tonight. Absolutely amazing! Rich and flavorful. It’s like Alfredo on steroids!
Fantastic! Will be adding to our biweekly rotation. So flavorful!
This was an absolutely delicious one pot meal – super easy. All my stores were out of the butter suggested, so I used regular butter and it turned out perfect. My 16 yo absolutely LOVED it. This will be on our regular rotation!
I’m a caveman in the kitchen – can’t boil water without messing up – but this looked good so I gave it a shot. Everybody at dinner absolutely raved about how delicious it was.
NOTE: The only negative I found is that it’s not nearly as good reheated, so I’ll try scaling the recipe to the number of guests that I anticipate from now on.
How much minced garlic?
I never measure but a 2 cloves or so should suffice.
What would be a good substitute for the beef broth? Unfortunately my stomach can’t handle beef broth.
Can you do chicken broth instead? That would work. Or, maybe dilute the beef broth 50/50 with water.
Dish is awesome but any tips on how to prevent the sauce from breaking? I had on low heat but still broke a little.
I’m thinking it prob just needed whisked more if you followed everything else per directions.
Brought leftovers to work and everyone wants the recipe. I also used Boursin cheese instead of cream cheese, and u added 1/2 bag frozen spinach! Delicious!
Easy – Check!
Delicious – Check!
Kid approved – CHECK!
Super quick and yummy dinner for a busy weeknight! We will definitely add this to our rotation, thank you!
Loved this recipe. Made for the family and was a great hit. I used frozen tortellini and worked great. My daughter ask for the recipe. It was great. I have tried some of your other tortellini dishes and loved all of them.
Thank you!
How much butter is considered in 1 stick? Just in case I can’t find the specific one used in the recipe.
8 tbsp!!
Made it today. Easy and delicious. I will be making it again.
I did reduce the amount of the butter, black and red pepper by half and increased the broth to 2 cups.
