Seriously, I have ZERO idea why I hadn’t had it in a while, then one day fairly recently I was searching for something in the frozen foods section and BOOM! There it was, a bag tortellini that was just calling my name. I think that’s part of the reason why I’ve been away from it for so long. I rarely go into the frozen food section of the grocery store. I cook mostly from scratch, and while I really enjoy making my own pasta, homemade tortellini can be pretty time consuming for a slow cook like me. As I was writing my latest cookbook about easy spicy dinners, I realized having frozen tortellini on hand is actually a GREAT way to get delicious, spicy meals on the table in a hurry. Let’s talk about how we make this, shall we? Next, add the ground turkey and break it up. Cook it down until the turkey is cooked through, stirring a bit as you go. You can use ground beef instead if you’d like. I was saving a few calories, and to be honest, I really like ground turkey. YUM! Next, stir in your seasonings, fire roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, gochujang (a new LOVE of mine!), and let the whole thing simmer to develop flavor. 15 minutes is fine, but an hour will bring out even more flavor, so keep going if you have the time. Serve it up, my friends! I LOVE this stuff. Truly. I’m so happy to be cooking with tortellini again. Let me know if you make this. I hope you love it! Send pics!
