Tortellini with Italian Sausage and Spinach
  1. 1

    Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the mushrooms, 1/2 cup white wine, and 1 clove minced garlic until the liquid reduces and the mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and transfer to a bowl.

  2. 2

    Set the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the Italian sausage until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it into bite-sized pieces as you stir. Remove excess grease by lining a plate with paper towels and dumping the browned sausage onto it to drain. Return the sausage to the skillet.

  3. 3

    Add the cooked mushrooms back to the skillet with the sausage, then add the tortellini, Alfredo basil sauce, the remaining 1/2 cup white wine, and the remaining garlic. Lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add the spinach; cover and cook until the spinach is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes more. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
