This is a meal that will come together in just under 30 minutes - perfect as a weeknight dinner! It is also a meal that tastes even better the next day, so its perfect to reheat for lunches.
- I like to grab my Italian sausage from the meat counter at my local co-op and will use a mix of both mild and hot sausage for some added heat!
- While I do believe you can rarely beat a good homemade pesto, store bought pesto works great for this recipe! Barilla pesto is my brand of choice.
- Make sure that you are using unsweetened canned coconut milk to ensure you are getting the maximum amount of creaminess! The Target Good & Gather brand is my favorite. If you are unable to find unsweetened canned coconut milk, feel free to sub in heavy cream!
- I typically grab a four cheese tortellini, but any kind will work for this! If you don't love tortellini, you can sub in your favorite small-medium pasta shape.
- Don't skip topping with parmesan cheese!! You could also add red pepper flakes if you like some added spice.
