Creamed Spinach Tortellini
Ingredients:
1 pound of stuffed tortellini, cooked & drained (use your fave)-3 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
1 1/2 cups of half & half
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of roasted garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 cup of parmesan cheese
4 ounces of room temperature cream cheese
1/2 cup of smoked gouda cheese
16 ounces of frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1. In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 90 seconds until the flour taste has cooked out.
2. Then, add in the half and half and stir well to combine. It’s a good idea to make sure the heat is on high at this point and as soon as it starts to thicken, lower the heat back to medium.
3. Add in all of the other ingredients except the tortellini and stir occasionally to combine well and to prevent from sticking.
4. Once the sauce is thick, toss in the pasta and serve.

-1 pound jumbo shrimp, cleaned
-1 tablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
1. Toss the shrimp together with the olive oil, salt, and Old Bay.
2. Get a skillet hot and then sauté the shrimp on both sides until they’re cooked through. Serve immediately.

Tortellini, stuffed pasta that originates from Italy, pairs wonderfully with creamed spinach and shrimp for a delightful meal. Spinach is rich in iron and minerals, making this dish not only delicious but also nutritious. In addition to the ingredients provided, consider customizing your tortellini recipe with additional herbs or spices to suit your taste. For a more robust flavor, adding sun-dried tomatoes or a hint of lemon can elevate the dish. If you’re looking for a quick dinner idea, using pre-cooked shrimp can significantly cut down on prep time. Pair this dish with a simple side salad to balance out the richness. Enjoy the creamy texture of the sauce combined with the tender pasta and the delightful crunch of seasoned shrimp in every bite!
It was pretty good. I ended up using heavy whipping cream because that’s what I’m used to. I’ll try half and half on the next go round to see what’s the difference. I feel like it’s the thickness of the sauce from the looks of the picture. (Mine was thicker) Thank you for sharing 🌺
