Ingredients
  

9 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (preferably in oil)

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for 2 minutes to release their flavor.

        Combine Spinach and Broth: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to combine.

          Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, and add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together and let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

            Mix in the Tortellini: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy sauce, ensuring they are coated well. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot, enjoy the delightful Tuscan flavors!
