Pineapple-Marinara Tortellini

So I just returned from my trip around the Western United States. While I did not do any cooking while travelling for two weeks I did eat some great food. Just a sampler:

-Real Mexican food in the Arizona desert

-Chocolate Milkshake at Ghirardelli Square in San Francsisco

-A delicious fish taco from a taco truck at Off The Grid in San Francisco

-Buffalo Burger in Jackson Hole, WY

-Green Chili in Moab, UT

-A Navajo Taco on the Navajo Indian Reservation

So I ate well, but I still missed cooking, so I whipped up a fresh pasta concoction as soon as I got back. I wanted to make something with a classic marinara sauce, but I also wanted to make it a little exotic, so I threw some pineapple into the mix! I started out by sizzling some Italian sausage and pineapple chunks in a pan. I then added my marinara sauce (and some pine nuts of course!). I cooked some Tortellini on the side, and mixed it together. It tasted great with some fresh Parmesan on top.
