1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, diced (optional)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
9 oz cheese tortellini
2–3 cups fresh spinach
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan
Sauté onion, garlic, and carrots in olive oil until soft.
Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, broth, and seasonings. Simmer 15 minutes.
Add tortellini and cook until tender.
Stir in spinach, then add cream and Parmesan.
Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes. Serve hot.
Use rotisserie chicken or Italian sausage for added protein. Store without tortellini for best reheating results.
