Ingredients

Directions

1.

Bring a saucepan of water to a BOIL; ADD pasta; COOK until tender, according to package instructions, typically 10 minutes.

2.

In the meantime, in a saucepan over medium heat, COMBINE tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, basil and garlic; COOK, STIRRING, until mixture starts to bubble.

3.

In a mixing bowl, WHISK together the flour, milk and cream; STIR this mixture, along with the Parmesan cheese, into the tomato-spinach mixture; HEAT through; REDUCE heat to low; SIMMER until thick, about 2 minutes.

4.

DRAIN pasta (do not rinse); POUR into saucepan with sauce; STIR to coat.

Original recipe calls for cheese tortellini, but it made for a somewhat "doughy" texture; may also try Trader Joes Spinach Tortellini as a substitute.
