Tortellini & Sausage Salad

Made another recipe tonight that was super easy and very yummy! Even better…..makes great leftovers for our work lunches!!

What you will need to serve 4 (or two with leftovers!)  - I really don’t measure there are mostly guestaments….

-       2 Sliced red peppers

-       One bunch of asparagus  - cut into bite size

-       1 ½ Cups of edamame (frozen)

-       ½ chopped up onion

-       4 cheddar brats (can use really any kind of sausage, I had a bunch of these)

-       16 oz tortellini

-       2 cloves of garlic minced

-       ½ cup Italian Dressing

What do do….

1)   Boil a 2 pot of water on the stove, one large and one medium size.

2)   While you are waiting for the water to boil start cutting up your vegetables and sausage.

3)   When water boils place tortellini in large pot and cut up asparagus in small pot.  Just cook asparagus till they are bright green (about 3 min).   Then drain asparagus and run cold water over them so they stop cooking, and set aside.  Cook tortellini for about 7 minutes and then add edamame with tortilla for about 6 minutes.

4)   While those are cooking heat up a sauté pan (make sure its big) with some olive in it.  Put in the red pepper, garlic and onion. Cook for about4 minutes then add sausage and asparagus and cook for another 5-6 minutes. 

5)   Once tortilla and edamame are done drain well.

6)   Mix all ingredients together with the Italian Dressing

Then your done and ready to eat an amazing meal!!  Make sure you get a bite with everything because all the different flavors and textures are awesome together.  This time I actually took a picture.
