A new Italian recipe....

Spinach Tomato Tortellini...

Ingredients: 

-1 package cheese tortellini (16 ounces)
-1 can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onions, but if you are like me and prefer to cut about 3 tomatoes, cut them in little cubes.
-1 cup chopped fresh spinach, again if you are like me add more than just a cup...
- 1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp pepper
-1 1/2  tsp dried basil
-1 tsp minced garlic
-2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup milk
-3/4 heavy cream
-1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tortellini, and cook until tender, about ten minutes. 

2. While you get the tortellini going combine the tomatoes, spinach, salt, pepper, pepper, garlic and basil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to bubble. 

3.In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and cream. Stir this mixture into the saucepan along with the parmesan cheese. Heat through, then reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, about two minutes. 

4. Drain the tortellini, but do not rinse, then pour them into the saucepan with the sauce. Stir to coat, and serve.
