• Cheese Tortellini

  9 oz
• Fresh Spinach

  5 oz
• Heavy Cream

  0.8 cup
• Garlic

  2 cloves
• Grated Parmesan Cheese

  0.3 cup
• Olive Oil

  1 tbsp
• Salt

All Steps

1. 1

   Cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions in salted water until al dente. Drain well and set aside.

2. 2

   While the tortellini cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. 4

   Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is fully wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

6. 6

   Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and is fully incorporated into the sauce.

7. 7

   Add the drained tortellini to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to ensure all the tortellini are coated.

8. 8

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
