Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, carefully add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of chicken broth into the skillet, stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Incorporate ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 cups of fresh spinach into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Gently add the cooked tortellini to the skillet. Toss and coat them evenly with the sauce, cooking for another minute.
- Stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and enhance the creaminess. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil for an aromatic burst.
