Stopping in to say (again! I posted as MNCook before) that this is a superb recipe. I’ve made it every 4 months or so since 2021. For us, this is about 6 meal-sized servings, ladled into bowls with crusty bread beside to mop up the last bites of sauce. I do use the suggested cornstarch/water thickener.
This one is crazy delicious and has great, delicate flavor with the pink sauce that forms from the tomatoes and heavy cream- oh my goodness! We both loved it, and I was delighted to enjoy the frozen leftover portions on workdays thereafter. What a treat this meal was! Thank you for exposing me to cooking with new ingredients. I had never cooked with mild Italian sausage before…you are so fun!
This was just ok. May have been the sausage I picked out. Easy to put together but I probably won’t make again.
Lightning fast to make and super flavorful. It’s been added to my family-favorites list and I keep the sausage & tortellini on-hand (frozen) to use when time is short. So much better (and faster!) than going for take-out.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit! Thank you for your recipes and videos- they are the best
Oops it was your sausage recipe I was commenting on..sorry maybe you can switch my remarks to that..
My husband loves to cook when I give up the kitchen and after we saw this recipe he kept saying all week he was going to make it while I was yard saling
Oh my gosh! It was awesome, we used TN hot sausage. That was the only change. We will make this again and again
Thanks for your creativity in cooking.
God bless you and your family
I made this recipe for dinner and everyone loved it. Very easy and quick. Thanks Julia!
I can’t wait to make this tonight! I happen to have all the ingredients on hand.
