DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat until very hot. Add garlic; cook and stir constantly until garlic is fragrant (1-2 min.). Add tomatoes, beans and sausage; cook and stir until liquid from the tomatoes is nearly evaporated (2-3 min.). Add seasoning, sugar, pepper and red pepper flakes; stir for 1 min. Stir in broth and pomodoro sauce; increase heat to medium-high and bring to a low boil. Add tortelloni; cook until pasta is tender and hot (about 2 min.; it will float to the surface and swell slightly). Remove pot from heat; stir in cream and lemon juice. Garnish individual servings to taste.
