Tortellini With Edamame And Smoked Sausage - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb frozen cheese tortellini
1 cup edamame, shelled
1 cup red pepper, diced
1 lb smoked sausage (I use kielbasa)
1/4 cup low-fat Italian salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce

Preparation

Set 6 quarts of salted water to boil in a large pot.
Meanwhile, chop red pepper and slice the smoked sausage into 1/4 inch-thick rounds.
Stir-fry red pepper and sausage together until heated through -- about 5 minutes.
Add tortellini to boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
Add edamame to water and boil for another 2 minutes. Drain tortellini and edamame well.
Mix Italian dressing, ginger and teriyaki sauce.
Toss everything together with the Italian dressing mixture and heat through one final time.
