Ingredients

18 oz. fresh tortellini
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic finely diced or crushed
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese grated
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves roughly chopped
¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the rest and set the cooked tortellini aside.
While the tortellini is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over medium heat, while stirring, for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the cooked tortellini and chopped baby spinach leaves to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the spinach has wilted. Add a small amount of the reserved pasta water if the sauce needs thinning.
Garnish the tortellini with the chopped parsley and serve.
