Drain and return tortellini to the same pot, off heat.

Meanwhile, prick tomatoes with a fork.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sausage. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains** Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
