Description

Creamy, rich, and irresistibly romantic, this one-pot Marry Me Tortellini is a vegetarian twist on the viral dish, perfect for celebrating weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 20 oz fresh cheese tortellini
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  2. Stir in flour and cook for 2–3 minutes to remove the raw flavor.
  3. Slowly pour in vegetable broth, whisking to smooth. Bring to a gentle boil and let it thicken for 3–5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tortellini and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until tender.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in cream, Parmesan, and spinach until the cheese melts and spinach wilts.
  6. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth, milk, or cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread or a crisp green salad. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or broth.
