Description

Tortellini with Italian sausage, roasted tomatoes, spinach and parmesan cheese made in the Instant Pot. An anything but boring dinner!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 8 oz ground Italian sausage (I used mild)
  • 1 Tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary leaves
  • 1/4 tsp dried sage
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 (19 oz) bag frozen tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen spinach
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the tomatoes in half and place a baking sheet. Drizzle the tomatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile, turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the Italian sausage and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown for 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot. 
  4. Stir in the vinegar, rosemary, sage, thyme, red pepper and dijon. Add in the tortellini.
  5. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes on LOW pressure. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  6. Stir in spinach, cheese and the roasted tomatoes. 
  7. Serve and enjoy!
