One of my kids favorite meals. They love spinach, which is a good thing. This is an easy meal to throw together. A nice one skillet meal. I hope you try it.. My photos

How To Make cheese tortellini w/ creamy tomato sauce & spinach

Step 1

Prepare tortellini according to package. Drain

Step 2

In a large skillet; combine the tomatoes ( undrained ), sauce, garlic, spinach, salt and pepper. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil. Stirring occasionally.
Step 3

In a separate bowl; mix cream, milk and flour with a whisk till smooth. Pour milk mixture into the tomato mixture, also adding parmesan cheese. Cook until bubbling again, then reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes until thick.
Step 4

Add cooked tortellini and stir to fully coat with sauce. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes to further thicken sauce. Add hot pepper flakes if using now.
Step 5

I serve with a salad and garlic toast. Enjoy!
