How to Make Creamy Spinach And Tortellini

  1. Cook tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  2. While tortellini cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  4. Stir in chopped spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until spinach wilts.
  5. Add chopped tomatoes and fresh basil. Stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes more.
  6. Pour in heavy whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce. Toss gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until heated through.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
