How to Make Easy Cheesy Fondue Ragu

  1. **Prepare Dipping Items:**
  2. **Tortellini:** Cook 1 (12-ounce) package of cheese tortellini according to package directions. Set aside.
  3. **Italian Sausage:** In a large saucepan, cover 1 pound Italian sausage with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until cooked through (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat, cool for 5 minutes, slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

  6. **Bread:** Cut 1 loaf of Italian bread into 1-inch cubes.
  7. **Prepare Fondue:**
  8. Rub the inside of an electric fondue pot with 1 clove garlic.
  9. Set the fondue pot to 350°F (175°C).
