Tortellini, Edamame and Smoked Sausage


Not my recipe! But super easy, not expensive and super yummy! My changes to it I put in red. :)

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 6 (4)
Ingredients:
1 pound frozen cheese tortellini
1 cup shelled edamame
(I buy the steamables and steam them in the microwave instead of boiling)
1 cup diced red pepper
1 pound smoked sausage (I use the nice stuff, but Bar S Smoked Sausage, cheap and lots of sausage)
1/2 cup Italian dressing (I use 3/4 cup, but I like more on mine)
Method:
1. Set 6 quarts of salted water to boil in a large pot.
2. Meanwhile, chop red pepper and slice the smoked sausage into 1/4 inch-thick rounds.
3. Stir-fry red pepper and sausage together until heated through — about 5 minutes.
4. Add tortellini to boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add edamame to water and boil for another 2 minutes. Drain tortellini and edamame well.
6. Toss everything together with the Italian dressing and heat through one final time.
