A quick and elegant one-skillet dish featuring cheese tortellini, juicy shrimp, and fresh spinach in a rich cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  3. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook until pink and opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  6. Stir in the cooked tortellini and Parmesan. Toss until coated and heated through.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

For lighter sauce, use half-and-half plus butter. Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
