Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cheese tortellini
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the tortellini through.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
