Instructions
- Heat a very large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sausage, break up the sausage with a wooden spoon and brown it well. Transfer to a bowl and drain off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
- Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic to the pan and scrape up the browned bits. Add the crushed fennel seeds and cook until the vegetables are fragrant and soft. Return the sausage to the pan.
- Add the tomato sauce, tortellini and 1 cup of broth. Bring to a low simmer and cook about 5 minutes until the tortellini is cooked, adding some or all of the remaining broth if more liquid is needed.
- Taste and season with salt if you used canned tomatoes. Stir in the spinach until wilted. Top with the mozzarella and bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan and chopped parsley before serving with garlic bread.
