Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (plus some of the oil)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable broth (Pacific vegetable broth or similar)
20 oz fresh cheese tortellini (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup grated Parmigiano cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes (with a bit of their oil), Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3–4 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in flour and cook for about 3 minutes to form a light roux.
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add tortellini and a pinch of salt, stirring gently. Cook according to package until tender.
Turn off heat and stir in heavy cream, Parmigiano, and spinach until the spinach wilts.
Adjust consistency with extra broth or cream if needed. For extra richness, add cream cheese.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
Notes
Stir gently once tortellini is added to avoid breaking the pasta.
Add extra sun-dried tomatoes for stronger flavor.
For a thicker sauce, simmer a bit longer before adding cream.
Cream cheese can be added for an even richer, creamier texture.
Best served immediately while creamy and hot.
