Equipment
Ingredients
  
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, ground
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 14-ounce
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package fresh tortellini
  • 3 cups spinach or kale
Instructions
 
  • Brown the Italian sausage in the Instant Pot on saute mode. Break up the meat with a meat chopper until finely minced and cook until brown and heated through for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the onions and garlic, and saute for 10 minutes until the onions become translucent and soften.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Deglaze the pot with chicken broth and add a bay leaf. Secure the Instant Pot lid and set it to manual high pressure for 10 minutes with a 10-minute natural release.
  • Unplug the Instant Pot, remove the inner pot, and stir in the fresh tortellini, kale, and heavy cream.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Brown the Italian sausage and break it up using a meat chopper.
  • Deglaze the pot with chicken broth to remove any stuck on bits from browning the sausage so you don't end up with a burn notification.
  • Fresh tortellini takes minutes to cook, which is why I stir it into the hot broth at the end with the fresh greens and heavy cream.
  • Remove the inner pot from the Instant Pot before stirring in the heavy cream to prevent it from curdling.
