Baked Tortellini With Italian Sausage
"Recipe is originally from Aylmer's Tomatoes (back in the day when you snail-mailed to order a recipe book). Over the years I've tweaked the ingredients to our preference. I couldn't find this recipe on the web even so I'm posting to share with other Zaar members. The recipe doesn't call for garlic, however for those that enjoy it... mince away."

I love tortellini but this sat in my recipe book quite a while before I got around to making it. Wish I would have tried it sooner! This was great, I halved the recipe though and that filled a 9x13 pan. I used crushed tomatoes and used Italian seasoning instead of just oregano. This would be a great potluck dish. -
I used chicken sausage to reduce the fat content and it was still loved by everyone from the age of 5 to 45... Yum. -
Delicious! I also used Italian seasoning and used extra spicy sausage

<p>I enjoy to cook & my DH enjoys to eat. Neither one of us have serious weight or physical issues but I strive to make my meals healthy. I try to stay away from 'low-fat' & processed foods cause they are usually filled with other undesirable ingredients. I try to stick to natural foods & I grow a garden including several herbs. <br />I make a point of reviewing all recipes I've tried & appreciate the time others take to forward feedback on my recipes.</p>
