Creamy Tomato Tortellini with Spinach

Get your skillet or wide pot hot and ready! Pour in the olive oil and add the diced onion. Cook for 3–4 minutes until it is soft and translucent. Then, toss in the minced garlic and cook for just 30 seconds until fragrant — your kitchen will smell amazing!

Stir in the marinara sauce, water or broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring everything to a gentle simmer — bubble gently and let those flavors mingle happily for about 5 minutes.

Add the cheese tortellini to the sauce, cover the skillet or pot, and simmer for 5–7 minutes — you want those tortellini tender and plump. Give it a stir once halfway through to make sure they cook evenly.

Toss in the baby spinach and stir until it wilts into a vibrant green. Then, pour in the half-and-half and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top. Heat everything for 1 more minute until warm and melty. Serve and enjoy!
