Creamy Tortellini in 30 Minutes
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive or avocado oil
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 3 cups cooked cheese tortellini
Preparation
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm up oil and cook shallots and garlic for about 3 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Toss in tomatoes and cook down for ten minutes until softened. Gently push down the back of the tomatoes to release some liquid and help them burst slightly.
Add spices, red peppers, and tomato paste. Stir and mix in cream. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the cream starts to darken in color.
Add in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, cooked tortellini, and chopped spinach. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Adjust for salt, garnish with parsley or basil if desired.
