Fall is one of my favorite times of year, but it can also be a very overwhelming time of year. This is the time of year where my kids come home from school with a pile of homework. On top of having to do their homework, they have daily reading, scouts, sporting events and other school activities. It is in these moments that I find that family dinner and home cooked meals don't happen as often as I would like. Since family meal time is so important to me, I often cook up some of my favorite go-to 30 minutes or less meals. One of my kids favorites is our Easy One Pot Tomato Basil Tortellini. This recipe tastes great meatless, with chicken or using our favorite Sweet Italian Al Fresco chicken sausage.
Al fresco chicken sausage is fully cooked, delicious and can be swapped for raw chicken for delicious and convenient recipes. This is definitely a time saver when making dinner. There are so many great flavors like Sweet Apple, Roasted Garlic, and Sweet & Smoky BBQ Chicken Sausage that add great flavor to a delicious 30 minute or less meal. The flavors of the Sweet Italian goes perfectly with our Tomato Basil Tortellini.
