I found the original recipe for this on the Disney Family Fun site and changed it up a bit to add some more Asian inspired flavor. The original was featured as a dish that cost under $1.50 a serving and adding the additional ingredients doesn't increase the cost by much! It's still quick, easy, cheap and tastes great! Ingredients:
1 lb frozen cheese tortellini |
1 cup edamame, shelled |
1 cup red pepper, diced |
1 lb smoked sausage (i use kielbasa) |
1/4 cup low-fat italian salad dressing |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce |
Directions:
1. Set 6 quarts of salted water to boil in a large pot.
2. Meanwhile, chop red pepper and slice the smoked sausage into 1/4 inch-thick rounds.
3. Stir-fry red pepper and sausage together until heated through - about 5 minutes.
4. Add tortellini to boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add edamame to water and boil for another 2 minutes. Drain tortellini and edamame well.
6. Mix Italian dressing, ginger and teriyaki sauce.
7. Toss everything together with the Italian dressing mixture and heat through one final time.
