Cooked in just 20 minutes in a single skillet, it combines a rich tomato and cream sauce with savory Italian herbs and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal that feels indulgent yet easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup sundried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 18 oz package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet and sauté: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil reserved from the jar of sundried tomatoes, the drained and chopped sundried tomatoes, and the minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and the tomatoes soften.
  2. Add spices and flour: Stir in the all-purpose flour, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes until combined with the tomato mixture, creating a flavorful base for the sauce.
  3. Add and thicken the broth: Pour in the chicken broth and whisk everything together until fully combined. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Cook the tortellini: Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini directly into the skillet and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the tortellini is cooked through and tender.
  5. Finish with cream, cheese, and spinach: Turn off the heat, then stir in the heavy cream, freshly grated parmesan cheese, and fresh spinach. Mix until the spinach wilts and melds into the creamy sauce.
  6. Season and serve: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper to your preference. Add extra parmesan cheese if desired, then serve immediately for a rich and comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use oil from the sun-dried tomatoes jar for extra flavor in the sauce.
  • Refrigerated tortellini cooks quickly and is perfect for this one-pan dish, but fresh tortellini can be used as well.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to control the heat level to your liking.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and tortellini.
