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.

CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH FRESH SPINACH CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Bring 21/2quarts lightly salted water to a boil in a covered 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven or soup pot. When the water reaches a rapid boil, add the pasta and cook until tender, according to package directions. While water comes to a boil and the tortellini cooks, make the sauce: Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside. Slice the tomatoes in half and set aside. In an extra-deep 12-inch skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and the prewashed spinach to the pan and cover. Cook, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes, then toss, cover and cook for an additional minute or until the spinach just wilts. Add the garlic and tomatoes and stir and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and add the half-and-half. Heat on very low until the pasta is ready. (Do not boil the sauce or it will curdle.) If the sauce becomes too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of pasta water and stir well. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the tortellini and toss with the sauce. To serve, divide among six pasta bowls and top with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

CHEESE TORTELLINI SOUP W/ KIELBASA, WHITE BEANS, SPINACH RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by mytastytreasures
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa, garlic, onion, thyme, and red pepper flakes and saute until browned, about 12 minutes. ( I threw the garlic in after about 8 minutes of cooking.. didn't want it to burn.) Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil . Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the beans and tortellini to the soup. Simmer until the pasta is just tender to the bite, about 10 minutes. Stir the spinach into the soup and turn off the heat; let stand for about 2 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. ** Please note , add tortellini at another time if you aren't going to eat this all right away. It will become mushy if stored and absorbs some of the soup. I recommend boiling it as needed al dente, then throwing it in the soup for a couple of minutes.
Tips:
- To save time, use a pre-packaged tortellini. Fresh tortellini can be used if you have the time to make it.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your spinach and cheese tortellini. Some good options include chopped onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
- Add some cooked chicken or sausage to your tortellini for extra protein.
- Season your tortellini with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve your tortellini with a side of marinara sauce or Alfredo sauce.
Conclusion:
Spinach and cheese tortellini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With its creamy sauce, tender tortellini, and flavorful spinach and cheese filling, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
