This week's random recipe selection was full of pasta dishes. I can tell you that I do not need 4 pasta dishes in a week. That's just too much. But one of the pasta dishes was this simple little recipe.
I used the polish sausage I get from Double DD Meats. I'm addicted to this sausage. I thought it'd be perfect for this recipe. I'm not a fan of turkey sausage, so I knew I wasn't going to use that. Turns out, this recipe really would have been better with chicken and not sausage. Maybe turkey sausage would have made it. The polish sausage was a bit overpowering.
The cream sauce with pesto was...OMG...so good. It's your standard cream sauce and comes together really well. The pesto is a nice touch to this recipe.
I also didn't use tortellini. These small raviolis were on sale, so that's what I used.
