Broccoli Tortellini

Tonight's recipe is from the book Stylish One-Dish Dinners - I got it at the Library.

The meal is Broccoli Rabe with Italian Sausage, Tortellini, and Fresh Cherry Tomatoes. It was tasty - although if I made it again I'd add about twice as many tomatoes. It is also very pretty - lots of colors! Check out the cooking pic - I took it because it was so pretty.

Here's the recipe:
2 Tbls. EVOO
1 Pound Italian Sausage
2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
1 Onion, coarsely chopped
2 (13-ounce) cans chicken broth
2 Cups water
1 Pound fresh tortellini filled iwth sausage or cheese
1 bunch broccoli Rabe, chopped and without stems
15 cherry tomatoes, halved
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Freshly shaved Parmesan

In a 12-inch skillet, heat the EVOO and saute the sausage and onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes more. Remove from the pan and deglaze the pan with the chicken broth and water, scraping up all the bits from the bottom.

In a large sauce pot, bring the broth and water to a boil, add the tortellini, and cook for 5 minutes, then drain.

Return the sausage, onion, and garlic to the skillet, add the broccoli and tomatoes, and cook for 5 minutes more. Top with the Parmesan. Serve immediately.
