Creating Marry Me Tortellini is straightforward. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Add Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

5. Incorporate Spinach: Add the spinach (if using frozen, ensure it’s thawed and squeezed of excess moisture) to the skillet, and cook until wilted.

6. Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, include red pepper flakes.

7. Combine Tortellini and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy sauce. Toss until the pasta is well-coated.

8. Serve: Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
