I made this recipe up years ago, when the kids were quite young. We had the ingredients left over from something else, and I really didn’t want to head to the store. So … this. The kids loved it, and it’s become one of Roxanne’s favourites.
This is the first time I’ve ever written it down though. Usually I just make it up until it tastes right.
Mark's Tortellini with Chorizo
Ingredients
- 2 links chorizo sausage
- 1 pkg tortellini
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 4 Tbsp flour
- 1 c milk
- 1 c sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Slice chorizo into 1/4” rounds. Fry, and when done, drain well. Often, I will rinse them in hot water, to remove most of the grease.
- Boil tortellini as per package instructions. Rinse when cooked.
- Melt butter in small saucepan on med heat. Add flour one Tbsp at a time, blending well each time. When fully combined, add milk, stir and heat until sauce begins to thicken.
- Add shredded cheese, and blend until melted.
- Combine chorizo, tortellini and cheese sauce.
