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:

  • Choose the right tortellini. Fresh or frozen tortellini will work well in this recipe. Avoid using dried tortellini, as they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Be sure to not overcook the tortellini, as they will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. You can either make your own Alfredo sauce or use a store-bought sauce. If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is thick and creamy.
  • Add your favorite vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The tortellini will start to soak up the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This creamy restaurant-style tortellini is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
