One skillet meals like this Cheese Tortellini with Italian Chicken Sausage make easy dinners a breeze -- with very little clean up at the end! The pasta, sausage, and vegetables all cook together in less than 30 minutes. Finish the cheese tortellini recipe with mozzarella and Parmesan, then pair it with garlic bread and a crisp green salad!

4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 large red bell pepper ( chopped )
1 small onion ( chopped )
1 (12 ounce) package frozen baby broccoli florets ( thawed )

26 ounce jar marinara sauce ( about 3.25 cups total )
½ cup chicken broth ( or water )
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper
