Instructions
To a large pot, melt 2 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Then add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup of chopped onions. Cook and stir until these soften (3-5 minutes).
Once your chopped celery and onions have softened, add 4 cloves of minced garlic and stir until fragrant. Push these ingredients to the side in your pan and add 16 oz of ground Italian sausage. (If your Italian sausage is in sausage casing, be sure to remove the exterior casing before adding to the pot.) Breakup and cook the Italian sausage alongside celery and onions until no longer brown. Drain any excess grease. As your mixture is cooking, add 1 tbsp of Herbs de Provence and 1/2 tbsp Red Chili Flakes. Stir.
Next deglaze your pot by adding 1/2 cup of red wine. Cook until alcohol cooks off. From there, mix in 1 can of Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, 8 oz of tomato sauce, 6 cups of chicken broth, and 2 bay leaves. Stir, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the two bay leaves and add cheese tortellini pasta, kale or spinach and simmer 5 more minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat, garnish with fresh parsley or shredded parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!
