Can you believe that this scrumptious-looking dinner is made out of 5 ingredients and the cooking time is under 30 minutes? Indeed, it is true. It is a life saver when you are short on time and have a hungry family waiting for dinner. 

I love cooking with tortellini. I used to make tortellini myself (thank you, mom, for teaching me!), but I have had to use store-bought for the past couple of years. It saves a ton of time, plus, the store-bought tortellini tastes great as well! I especially like the Three Cheese Tortellini by Buitoni, so that’s what I used in this recipe. You can find this in Walmart and a lot of other large supermarkets.

Here is a list of the necessary ingredients:

  • 20 oz. package of Three Cheese Tortellini (or your favorite kind)
  • 8 oz. of cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups of chicken or vegetable stock
  • 6 cups of loosely packed baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack or mozzarella cheese

Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, simmer cream cheese with chicken stock for about 10 minutes.

    This looks so good but I don't like cream cheese or greek yogurt or anything like that. Could I substitute something else like another kind of cheese? I'd like to try making this because red sauce gives my mom heartburn but cheese doesn't bother her & she loves tortellini like I do.

      Hi Gail! I think heavy cream could be a good substitute here. Use 1/2 cup of chicken stock in this case (not 1 and 1/2 cups). Happy cooking!

    This was SO good!! I’m so glad I found this on Pinterest. I was really tempted to add spices since the recipe didn’t call for any. But I’m glad I didn’t! The ingredients called for in this recipe make it so flavorful! Anything extra definitely wasn’t needed. Love!
