Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces tortellini (preferably fresh)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 roasted or fresh red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
coarse salt and fresh black pepper
5 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup half & half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

Cook the tortellini in plenty of salted water to al dente according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a medium frying pan heat the oil over medium-low heat and cook the pepper and garlic 4 - 5 minutes stirring often. Turn heat up to medium and add the spinach. When it begins to wilt add the half & half. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often 3 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese, about 1/2 cup of the water from the pasta pot and the cooked tortellini. Stir gently to coat the pasta until a sauce forms about 2 minutes. Stir in the feta and remove from heat. Let it sit a couple of minutes for the sauce to thicken up. Serve with more Parmesan.
