Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chicken sausage until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Break it into small pieces.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.

- Reduce heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cheese tortellini and baby spinach; cook according to tortellini package instructions but reduce cooking time by one minute.
- Finally, stir in the half-and-half. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
