An old boyfriend's mother used to cook this tomato and spinach tortellini for me whenever I ate over. I love the cheese tortellini coated in a creamy tomato and spinach sauce!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package cheese tortellini

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion

  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • ¾ cup milk

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, spinach, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to bubble.

  3. Whisk milk, cream, and flour together in a medium bowl. Add to the saucepan along with Parmesan; stir together. Cook until sauce is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes.

  4. Drain tortellini, but do not rinse. Gently add to the saucepan and stir to coat with sauce.
