Ingredients

1 lb Italian sausage

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

5 cups beef broth

0.5 cup water

0.5 cup dry red wine

8 oz fresh tortellini pasta

1 cup sliced carrots

2 cups stewed tomatoes

0.5 tsp dried basil

0.5 tsp dried oregano

8 oz tomato sauce

1.5 cups sliced zucchini

2 green bell peppers, seeded and cubed

3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Pro tip: remove sausage casings for better texture. Cook the sausage until crumbly; set meat aside. Retain 1 tbsp drippings.

Sauté onion and garlic in the reserved drippings until tender. Add broth, water, wine, carrots, tomatoes, basil, oregano, tomato sauce, and cooked sausage. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 mins.

Add zucchini, bell peppers, parsley, and tortellini. Let it simmer for another 25 mins (fresh tortellini) or 45 mins (frozen tortellini), all covered.

Serve with Parmesan shavings on top.
