Bratty Tortellini

2 Bratwurst Sausages
12 oz Copper Hook
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups cooked tortellini
8 small to medium size mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh baby spinach
½ cup fresh shredded Asiago cheese

Cook bratwurst in small sauce pan over medium heat in beer for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally. In small bowl combine 1 Tbsp oil, garlic, onion and basil and mix well to form a paste.

In large skillet heat remaining oil and add paste, and cook 1-2 minutes; add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes, stirring often. Add spinach and tortellini and heat just until spinach starts to wilt (1-2 minutes). Slice bratwurst into bite size pieces and add to tortellini. Transfer to serving plate and top with cheese.
