A cozy, one-pan creamy tortellini skillet made with sweet potato, spinach, and cheese tortellini. This vegetarian comfort food is perfect for easy weeknight dinners and packed with flavor and nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sweet potato cubes and cook until tender and lightly golden.
  2. While the sweet potato cooks, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add tortellini and cook until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Push the sweet potatoes to the side of the skillet and add garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. Reduce heat and pour in heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Add drained tortellini to the skillet and toss gently until everything is well coated in the creamy sauce. Serve hot with extra cheese and black pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen tortellini depending on availability.
  • Nutmeg adds warmth while red pepper flakes add a kick—choose based on your flavor preference.
  • For a richer flavor, use butter instead of olive oil.
  • Add extra spinach or other veggies for more greens.
