If you grew up in a house where nothing went to waste, this bake is a perfect canvas for using what you have on hand. You can swap the Italian sausage for regular breakfast sausage or even smoked sausage coins if that’s what’s in the freezer. For a little color and sweetness, stir in a handful of frozen peas or a cup of thawed mixed vegetables before baking—they’ll cook right along with the tortellini.
‘Comfort win’: Just 3 ingredients. This comes together so fast it feels like cheating.
