    Remove the casings from the italian sausage. In a large pot cook the sausage over medium heat until it starts to brown using a wooden spoon to crumble as it cooks.

  • 4
    Stir in zucchini and parsley and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes. Add the tortellini and cook until tender.(I only cook the tortellini for 4 - 5 minutes so it doesn't fall apart).
