A delightful twist on a classic Italian dish, combining cheesy tortellini with a rich and creamy sausage marinara sauce.
Heat a large stockpot over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces.
Use a wooden spoon to break the sausage into small, even pieces for better texture.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened.
Chop the onion finely to ensure it cooks evenly and blends well into the sauce.
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, sugar, oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Adjust the seasoning to taste after the sauce has simmered for a while.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the pot partially to prevent splatters while allowing the sauce to reduce.
Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and romano cheese until well combined.
Add the cream slowly while stirring to prevent curdling.
Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions in a separate pot.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water for better flavor.
Serve the tortellini topped with the creamy sausage marinara sauce.
Garnish with extra grated cheese and fresh parsley for a beautiful presentation.
