Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in vegetable broth and water, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Add cheese tortellini and cherry tomatoes to the boiling liquid.
Cook uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
Reduce heat to low and stir in fresh baby spinach. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until spinach is wilted.
Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and cheese is melted.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and let the pasta sit for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
