Instructions

Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes (and their oil), Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
Add flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring to create a roux.
Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the tortellini and a pinch of salt. Cook until the tortellini is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Parmigiano, and spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth or milk to adjust the consistency.
For extra creaminess, consider adding cream cheese to the sauce.
Feel free to swap out spinach for kale or another leafy green of your choice.
If you want a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth.
