CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAMY TOMATO AND SPINACH SAUCE
This is a copycat recipe from a local chain of restaurants. They took it off their menu, so I had to develop my own. It turned out so good, it might be just better than the original. Garnish with more basil and Parmesan.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top but skin is nearly soft, about 2 minutes. Drain well.
- Slice sun-dried tomatoes thinly. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet; saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in sun-dried tomatoes, diced tomatoes, cream, and white wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet, and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a separate dish. Add spinach and basil to the skillet and stir. Increase heat slightly and boil until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Return chicken and cooked tortellini to skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Add the carrots, onion, garlic, spices, tomatoes and broth to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low until the carrots are tender, 3-6 hours (time varies depending on your slow cooker. If you cook it for longer - say, 8 hours - it won't hurt).

- Add the spinach, stir until wilted, cover again, and cook another 5 minutes.
- Warm the half and half in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the slow cooker. Stir until thoroughly combined and turn off the heat.
- Remove bay leaf. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- If adding sausage, place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sausage to the pan and brown, breaking into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Add cooked sausage to individual servings.
Tips:
- Fresh baby spinach is the best choice for this recipe, but you can use frozen spinach if needed. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the skillet.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the tortellini. This will give the tortellini plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when adding the tortellini. Cook the tortellini in batches if necessary.
- Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of tortellini you are using.
- While the tortellini is cooking, make the creamy spinach sauce. This sauce is very simple to make, but it is packed with flavor.
- To make the creamy spinach sauce, simply sauté some garlic and shallots in butter. Then, add the spinach and cook until it is wilted. Finally, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Once the tortellini is cooked, add it to the creamy spinach sauce and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
