Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

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 package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the garlic and tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.

      Create the creamy sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing it to warm up slightly. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Combine tortellini and spinach: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.

          Serve and garnish: Plate the creamy tortellini and top with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Optionally, sprinkle on extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
