Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh or frozen cheese-filled tortellini – 12 oz
  • Pre-cooked smoked sausage – 12 oz, sliced into bite-sized rounds
  • Bell peppers – 2 medium (any color), cut into strips
  • Red onion – 1 medium, thinly sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes – 1 cup, halved

Seasonings and Oils

  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Italian seasoning – 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)
  • Black pepper – 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds. Chop the bell peppers into strips, thinly slice the red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes to release their juices while roasting. If using frozen tortellini, no need to thaw beforehand.
  2. Assemble on the Sheet Pan: On a large rimmed sheet pan, spread out the sausage, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the top. Toss gently to coat all ingredients for even roasting.
  3. Roast the Sausage and Veggies: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes, allowing the sausage to release its smoky flavor and the vegetables to soften and caramelize slightly.
  4. Add the Tortellini: Remove the pan and evenly scatter the cheese tortellini among the sausage and vegetables. Drizzle a little more olive oil and toss gently to combine. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes until the tortellini is browned in spots and tender.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows flavors to meld and makes portioning easier. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use quality smoked sausage with robust flavor for best results.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
  • Both fresh and frozen tortellini work well; frozen saves prep time and roasts perfectly.
  • Check tortellini for doneness; it should be tender but not mushy. Adjust roasting time as needed.
  • Customize seasonings or add fresh herbs after baking for extra freshness.
