Midweek Morsel - Pesto Tortellini w/ Sausage & Brussels Sprouts

Welcome to Midweek Morsel, my new series in which I share some of my favorite go-to dinners that are easy to prepare and quick to get on the table for those busy midweek nights.

This week's morsel is so easy it barely needs a recipe. I basically threw in pasta, sausage and sprouts and dinner was done.

Pesto Tortellini w/ Sausage and Brussels Sprouts

What You'll Need:
1 pkg pesto tortellini
1/2 to 3/4 lb sausage, brats or chicken sausage
1/2 lb brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, pepper
shaved parmesan cheese

To Make:
Cook pasta according to package directions. While water comes to a boil, grill or broil sausage 5-6 mins per side. Set aside. Trim and halve or quarter sprouts (depending on size). Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper. Saute over med-high heat 10 mins or until crisp-tender.

Drain pasta and return to pot. Slice and add sausage. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil, add sprouts and a large handful of shaved parmesan.
Toss and serve.
