Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
- 4 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional, for garnish)
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 to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until wilted.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss with the sauce until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, if desired, and serve immediately.
