Prepare the Aromatics:

Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add olive oil and sauté minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant and translucent.

Create the Sauce:

Stir in crushed or diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Add heavy cream or cream cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Cook the Tortellini:

Add the fresh tortellini directly into the sauce, along with a splash of water or broth. Simmer until the tortellini is cooked through and tender (typically 3-5 minutes).

Add the Spinach:

Stir in fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce. This should only take 1-2 minutes.

Season to Taste:

Add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Stir to combine.

Serve and Garnish:

Plate the tortellini and top with grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese. Add fresh basil for an extra pop of flavor.
