cherry tomato and sausage tortellini

If you are looking for an easy weeknight (or weekend for that matter) meal, look no further than this tortellini. What can be simpler than taking a premade tortellini and then fancying it up by adding in fresh veggies and creating a super simple sauce.

Plus, bonus for families who have semi picky or kids who have different tastes - you can plate all componants separately for the picky ones. Something I’ll do a lot if making things I know not everyone wants to eat.
