Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, spinach, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to bubble.

Step 3

Whisk milk, cream, and flour together in a medium bowl. Add to the saucepan along with Parmesan; stir together. Cook until sauce is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Drain tortellini, but do not rinse. Gently add to the saucepan and stir to coat with sauce.
