  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 12 oz cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the tortellini cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add the sautéed spinach and garlic, chopped artichoke hearts, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In your baking dish, combine the cooked tortellini with the creamy spinach artichoke mixture. Stir gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top of the tortellini mixture. Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect on its own or paired with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free cream cheese, sour cream, and vegan cheeses for a dairy-free version.
  • Substitute gluten-free tortellini to make the dish gluten-free.
  • Broil the bake for the last 2-3 minutes to get a crispier cheese topping.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes to maintain creaminess.
  • You can add protein like grilled chicken or sausage for a more filling meal.
