Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons roasted garlic Alfredo sauce I use Rao’s
- 5 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
- 10 tablespoons beef broth
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 20 oz. bag Rana 5 Cheese Tortellini
- 8 chicken sausage links I use Good & Gather Andouille Smoked Chicken Sausage
- 5 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange 5 oven-safe glass meal prep containers on a baking sheet.
- To each bowl, add 2 tablespoons Alfredo sauce, 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree, and 2 tablespoons beef broth. Evenly divide the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper among the 5 bowls. Stir well to combine.
- Evenly divide the tortellini among the 5 bowls and stir to coat in the pumpkin Alfredo sauce.
- Slice the chicken sausage and evenly divide it among the 5 bowls, arranging it on top of the tortellini. Do not stir.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and the sausage is heated through. For crispier sausage, broil for an additional 3–5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle each bowl with 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Allow the bowls to cool before covering with lids and refrigerating.
- To reheat, remove the lid and microwave for 2–3 minutes, or until heated through.
