Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup spinach, fresh

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

      Add the Veggies: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until the tomatoes begin to soften and the spinach wilts, about 3-4 minutes.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Combine and Season: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, and gently toss to coat with the sauce. Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve and Garnish: Serve the tortellini warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
