Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup spinach, fresh (or frozen, thawed)

½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Add the Italian seasoning, and let the mixture come to a low simmer.

      Cook the Tortellini: Once the sauce is simmering, add the cheese tortellini to the skillet. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tortellini are tender.

        Create the Creamy Base: Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream. Allow the dish to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.

          Add Greens and Cheese: Stir in the fresh spinach until wilted (if using frozen spinach, make sure it's fully thawed and drained). Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve directly from the skillet for a cozy, rustic presentation.
