Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pkg refrigerated cheese tortellini, 9 oz each, i have used frozen
1 c milk
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
6 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 pkg baby spinach leaves, 6 ozs
1 c quartered cherry or grape tomatoes

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
  • 2. While preparing tortellini, cook milk and cream cheese in a large skillet on medium heat for 5 minutes or until cream cheese is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan and the pepper. Add spinach, mix well.
  • 3. Drain pasta. Add to spinach mixture, mix lightly. Top with tomatoes and remaining parmesan. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the tortellini so that they have plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot with tortellini. If you do, they will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick together.
  • Bring the water to a rapid boil before adding the tortellini. This will help to prevent the tortellini from sticking together.
  • Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Be sure to stir them occasionally so that they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the tortellini are cooked, drain them and rinse them with cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • While the tortellini is cooking, make the creamy sauce. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is softened.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is golden brown.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
  • Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce and stir to combine.
  • Serve the tortellini immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This creamy restaurant-style tortellini is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the tortellini is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
