CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAMY TOMATO AND SPINACH SAUCE



Cheese Tortellini with Creamy Tomato and Spinach Sauce image

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.

Provided by dat1guy

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (12 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and oil reserved
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup whipping cream
⅔ cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

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.
