Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Step 2

Roast for about 15 or 20 minutes. In the meantime, proceed with the recipe.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions (usually about 5 minutes). Drain. Proceed with the rest of the recipe while you cook the tortellini.

Step 4

Heat a large cast iron skillet for 2 minutes over low-medium heat. Add crumbled sausage, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika, and sauté for about 5 or 10 minutes, breaking the meat into small pieces, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove cooked sausage to a plate, making sure that juices remain in the skillet.

Step 5

To the same, now empty, skillet with juices, add chopped bell peppers and cook for about 10 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add back cooked sausage. Add roasted sweet potatoes, chopped green onions, and cooked and drained tortellini. Stir to reheat and combine. Season with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes.
