1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
03 -
1/4 tsp chili flakes
04 -
540 g frozen cheese tortellini

# Steps:
01 -
Scatter some dried parsley over the top and dish it up warm.
02 -
Cover the pan and let mozzarella melt into the dish right there on the stove, or pop it into a hot oven at 200°C. Take out when gooey.
03 -
Pour those frozen cheese tortellini into the pan. Make sure they're under the sauce. Cover up and simmer them for a few minutes till they’re soft.
04 -
Turn heat down a bit. Mix in the garlic, Italian herbs, chili flakes, Alfredo sauce, and tomato sauce. Give it a solid stir.
05 -
Set a big pan over medium-high flame. Toss in Italian sausage bits and diced onion. Cook till the sausage browns and cooks through. Dump any extra oil.
# Notes:
01 -
No oven? No problem! Let the cheese melt over low heat right in your pan with the lid on.
