- 400 g cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1 cup spinach fresh
- Fresh basil for garnish
Boil the Tortellini
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set aside. Do not overcook, or it will become too soft.
Add the Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Make the Creamy Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir slowly and let it simmer. Add oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce cook for about five minutes until slightly thick.
Combine Tortellini with Sauce
- Use spinach tortellini for extra flavor
- Add cooked chicken for protein
- Try shrimp for a seafood twist
- Use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter version
- Add mushrooms for an earthy taste
- Adjust chili flakes for more or less heat
