Creamy Tomato Tortellini with Sausage

Flavorful
Description

No one will believe that just three ingredients make up this tomato sauce that tastes like it bubbled away all day on top of the stove. It's that good.

Ingredients
  • 1 package (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 fully cooked italian chicken sausage links (3 ounces each), sliced
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
  • 1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
Directions
  1. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir sausage over medium-high heat 4-5 minutes or until browned. Add tomatoes and spinach; cook and stir just until spinach is wilted. Stir in cream cheese until melted.
  2. Drain tortellini; add to sausage mixture. Toss to combine.

Vegetarian Green Curry & Noodles

This is my favorite thing to eat a big bowl of on a drafty, winter weeknight (yes, oversized pajamas are involved). Consider it less of a recipe, and more of an idea for how you can get a cozy, warming bowl of green curry and noodles on the table quickly. (Stock up on curry paste.) This is my favorite version, with deeply seared mushrooms, soft butternut squash, and sauce-soaked broccoli stalks, but you can't go wrong with most vegetables or proteins here. Feel free to mix up aromatics, too—the important ones are already in the curry paste, so anything you want to sauté up front is just creating flavor upside. Don't stress if you forget to grab scallions—feel free to swap in a diced onion. The oversized pajamas are also optional, but highly recommended.

Spanish Gin Tonic Gin Tonic Espanol

The Spanish gin and tonic, known simply as gin tonic in Spain, is a maximalist drink that originated in the Basque region during the early 2000s. Served in a large balloon glass filled with ice and an abundance of herbs and citrus, these aromatics echo and amplify the botanicals of the gin, while also creating a visually striking presentation. One of my favorite combinations includes juniper berries, pink peppercorns, and fresh chamomile flowers, which surprisingly enhance the piney notes of juniper. For other variations, experiment with thyme, tarragon, rosemary, or basil—each lends a unique dimension to the drink.
