This hearty stew is a spin on a classic Italian pasta e fagioli, or “pasta and beans.” Here we swap cheese tortellini in for the pasta and then bulk it up with wilted kale and fennel-y crumbled sausage. The aromatic tomato broth is enhanced with a little cream right before serving, for a soup that will warm you on any chilly night.

The ULTIMATE Mac and Cheese
Mac-and-cheese just became a weeknight possibility thanks to this easy no-roux recipe. Traditionally, mac-and-cheese begins with a béchamel sauce that is thickened by a butter and flour roux. In this version, we skip the roux all-together and use good ol’ American cheese.
