Start with 24 ounces of cheese tortellini and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

Use Italian sausage (mild or hot) from the local grocery store.

Preheat a Ninja Never Stick 3-quart sauté pan for about 5 minutes.

Add the Italian sausage to the preheated pan and break it up while cooking until browned.

Season the sausage with Chef Paul Prudhomme's Pizza and Pasta Magic seasoning and cook until well combined and fragrant.

In a separate Ninja stock pot, add olive oil and salt, then add the tortellini to cook according to package instructions until tender.

Once the tortellini is cooked, drain it and add it to the sauté pan with the browned sausage.

Pour in the bolognese sauce and stir to combine everything together.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the mixture.

Preheat the oven on low broil and place the sauté pan in the oven to melt the cheese.

After broiling, let the dish sit for a few minutes to set before serving.
