1 pkg (20 oz.) refrigerated cheese tortellini

8 oz. bulk Italian sausage

1 jar (24 oz.) pasta sauce with mushrooms

1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese

8 oz. mascarpone cheese

Preparation:

Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in pasta sauce and heat through. Drain tortellini, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Add tortellini to sauce with enough reserved cooking water to reach desired consistency. Toss to coat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and top with dollops of mascarpone cheese. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and additional Parmesan cheese.
