FAQ
Can I use frozen tortellini?
Yes, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time and simmer until tender.
Can I swap the spinach for something else?
Kale works well, just let it cook a little longer so it softens.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can, but the tortellini will continue to soften as it sits, so it’s best the day it’s made.
How do I make it a little lighter?
You can use half and half instead of heavy cream and it will still be creamy.
Can I add protein?
Shredded chicken or Italian sausage both work really well if you want to make it more filling.
