  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, preferably oil-packed for richness
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Cream, heavy Can swap with Greek yogurt for a lighter version

Preparation

  • In a large pan over medium heat, drizzle a splash of olive oil.
  • Add minced garlic, and as it sizzles and turns golden, a beautiful aroma will fill your kitchen.

Cooking

  • Toss in the sun-dried tomatoes and stir for another minute, allowing the flavors to deepen.
  • Pour in your tortellini and broth, mixing everything well. Bring it to a simmer, showcasing the vibrant colors as the tortellini begins to cook.
  • Once the tortellini is tender, reduce the heat and add the cream, stirring until it thickens beautifully, coating every piece.
  • Mix in the spinach, watching it wilt into the creamy goodness.
  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, then serve warm.

Notes

For variations, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein, or make it vegetarian with coconut cream and nutritional yeast. For spice lovers, a dash of red pepper flakes works perfectly.
