Directions Tortellini Alfredo with Fresh Spinach
Directions
-
Fill a large pot with 2 quarts water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a rolling boil, stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat cream cheese, milk, butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat, stir until cheeses have melted and sauce is smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add spinach, and stir occasionally until spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes.
Drain tortellini, add to the sauce, and stir to combine. Garnish with tomato and remaining Parmesan cheese.
