Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

    Sauté garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

      Add tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to simmer and thicken slightly.

        Create the creamy sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine with spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until wilted.

            Add tortellini: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

              Finish with Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

                Serve: Divide the creamy tortellini among plates, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your cheesy delight!
