Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

1 cup heavy cream

4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.

      Add Tomatoes and Cream: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, pour in the heavy cream and mix until well combined.

        Season the Sauce: Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

          Incorporate Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts down.

            Combine with Tortellini: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the skillet, ensuring the tortellini are well coated with the creamy sauce.

              Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes extra creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

                Serve: Divide the creamy tomato spinach tortellini among bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan if desired.
