Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage (as spicy as you like it)
½ white onion diced
5 cloves garlic finely minced
8 ounces cream cheese cut into pieces
1 (24-oz jar) tomato sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese freshly shredded and divided
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese divided
1 cup baby spinach packed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the sausage and onion to a large skillet and crumble and cook until the sausage is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
Drain the excess grease from the pan then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in the cream cheese until fully melted then stir in the tomato sauce, 1 ½ cup of the mozzarella, ½ cup of the parmesan and spinach.
Once the spinach has wilted, stir in the tortellini and pour it into a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan on top then bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is bubbly.
