Ingredients
1 ½ cups cheese tortellini (refrigerated or cooked from frozen)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup fresh spinach
2 oz cream cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook tortellini until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. In a mixing bowl, toss together tortellini, cooked chicken, spinach, and cream sauce until evenly coated.
4. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden.
6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Don’t overcook the tortellini—they’ll soften more while baking.
You can swap spinach with kale or chopped broccoli for variety.
