Momma-Knows-Best Tortellini just goes to show that when it comes to pasta, Momma knows what she is talking about! Tender, cheesy tortellini have never been better than right now, as they nestle in a creamy, tangy, slow-cooked sauce with plenty of savory sausage and garden-fresh spinach! Mmm, it's not just how Momma used to make it... it might just be the perfect version of Mom's pasta dinner! Momma-Knows-Best Tortellini is the best!
