3 Ingredient Tortellini with Sausage & Kale

Precooked chicken sausage is a handy shortcut ingredient because it heats up quickly and adds lots of flavor without a lot of fuss. A roasted garlic variety pairs perfectly with cheese tortellini and sautéed leafy greens.

Ingredients

1 (9-ounce) package cheese tortellini
1 teaspoon olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, divided
2 links precooked garlic-flavored chicken sausages, sliced
1 (10 ounce) package chopped tuscan kale
⅛ teaspoon salt
ground pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain.
Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage. Cook, stirring often, until heated through and golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add kale; cooking, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Return the sausage to the pan and add the tortellini and salt. Toss to combine; season with pepper to taste.
