This is pretty much the Holy Grail of pasta….Savory sausage stuffed tortellini with a creamy, cheesy thyme sauce. Slam. Dunk. Delish.
It ain’t on my low carb diet, y’all, but sometimes a girl just needs a taste! I served it with bone in, skin on chicken thighs cooked like these and they were scrumptious!
