Marry Me Tortellini
Ingredients:
* 1 Tbsp olive oil (plus 1-2 tsp oil from sundried tomatoes)
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
* 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 package (10 oz) refrigerated tortellini
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 cup fresh chopped spinach
* Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Directions:
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and 1-2 tsp of the oil from the sundried tomatoes over medium heat.
Add the garlic, sundried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the garlic is tender and fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil.
Add the tortellini and cook 4-5 minutes, until the pasta begins to soften.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
Add the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.
