Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Spinach Tomato Tortellini.

1. Step 1

   Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a lively boil.

   Once the water is bubbling, toss in the tortellini and cook them according to the package instructions, which usually takes about 10 minutes until they’re perfectly tender.

   Set the heat to medium and stir occasionally, letting the mixture bubble and come together beautifully.

5. Step 5

   In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, and flour until it’s nice and smooth.

   Pour this creamy blend into the bubbling tomato and spinach mixture, then sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese.

7. Step 7

   Stir everything well and let it cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is heated through.

8. Step 8

   Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken just right.
