Ingredients
  

2 cups tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to 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 sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

      Add Tomatoes and Spinach: Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, followed by the chopped spinach. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the spinach wilts down.

        Create the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the creamy tomato sauce. Allow to heat together for a few minutes.

            Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

              Serve: Plate the creamy tomato spinach tortellini and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
