Ingredients

  • 10 oz. cheese tortellini
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
  • Stir in the fat-free half & half, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring until the sauce begins to thicken. Avoid boiling vigorously.
