One Pan Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Tortellini

Creamy tortellini with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and basil. This is an easy one-pan recipe that’s ready in 30 minutes.
If I were a hip millennial food influencer, I would call this recipe Marry Me tortellini. But, alas, I am neither hip nor millennial, so I call it creamy sun-dried tomato tortellini. I mean, the fact I used the word “hip” twice in this paragraph should tell you I am anything but.
But maybe you’ve never heard of Marry My recipes (though I've already shared few)? If so, prepare to be influenced because there’s a reason these kinds of recipes go viral. Some sort of crazy alchemy happens when you combine sun-dried tomatoes with heavy cream. The lightly acidic, sweet, and tart tomatoes balance the cream’s richness, creating a sauce that is best described as harmonious. It really does sing.
So, allow me to introduce you to this creamy tortellini skillet recipe. It’s an easy one with all the magical “marry me” features, plus you only need one pan and 30 minutes to make it.
