A comforting and flavorful stew featuring Italian sausage, tender tortellini, and a medley of vegetables, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces.
Ensure the sausage is browned evenly for maximum flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly.
Use a wine you enjoy drinking for the best flavor.
Add the chopped carrots, zucchini, basil leaves, and tomatoes to the saucepan. Stir well.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan loosely, and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes.
Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking.
Stir in the tortellini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the tortellini to maintain its texture.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with shaved parmesan cheese.
Add a sprinkle of fresh basil for extra aroma.
