To make this baked tortellini, I started by removing the casings from some mild Italian sausages.
I dumped the sausage meat into a 5 quart oven safe pan over medium-high heat.
I cooked the sausage meat, breaking it up well as it cooked.
Once the sausage meat was fully cooked, I added some water to the pan.
Then I added some refrigerated cheese tortellini to the pan.
I spread the tortellini out as evenly as possible and then brought the liquid to a boil.
Once the liquid was boiling, I covered the pan with a lid and left the pasta to cook for four minutes.
After four minutes, I removed the lid and stirred the pasta well.
Then I reduced the heat to low.
I added some spinach and cheese pasta sauce to the pan.
I stirred until all of the pasta was coated in sauce.
Then I sprinkled some shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta.
I placed the pan in the oven and baked the pasta until the cheese was completely melted.

You could also use hot Italian sausage in the recipe if you like a little more of a kick.
