What You Do

Heat olive oil in a large rimmed skillet over medium heat.

Add sausage and brown on both sides. Add garlic and stir until golden, about 20-30 seconds.

Add broth, tomato sauce, cream, tortellini, and stir to combine. Bring to a light simmer.

Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the asparagus for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Simmer an additional 5 minutes until tortellini are tender and sauce has reduced.
