- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until soft and translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add tortellini directly to the skillet.
- Simmer for 7–9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is tender and coated in sauce.

- Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan and black pepper if desired.
Notes
- Use refrigerated tortellini for the best texture and flavor.
- Don’t let the cream boil — simmer gently for a silky sauce.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
