1clovegarlic,minced
1(20 oz) package fresh tortellini
10ozAlfredo sauce
7ozprepared pesto
1(14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with italian seasonings, partially drained
1/2cupshredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
Begin by preparing tortellini according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the sausage and add to the hot pan, cooking until lightly browned. Add in garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Once tortellini is finished cooking, drain well and add to the skillet with the cooked sausage, along with Alfredo sauce, pesto, and diced tomatoes (I drain them a little, but not completely).
Reduce heat and stir ingredients well to combine. Continue cooking over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Keep warm until ready to serve. Enjoy!
