Steps:

• Cook tortellini as directed on package, omitting salt.

• Drain tortellini. Add to puttanesca mixture; mix lightly. Remove from heat. Top with cheese and parsley.

Steps:

• Drain well.
• Meanwhile, remove casings from sasage and saute with onion, pepper and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring and crumbling sausage until sausage is done and vegetables softened (about 7 or 8 minutes).
• Remove from heat and drain off fat.
• Add tomatoes, olives, tomato paste, capers and anchovy paste to pan and bring to a boil. (I like to give the tomatoes a couple of pulses in the food processor to break them up a little).

• Remove from heat.
