Sun Dried Tomatoes and Spinach Tortellini

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tbsp. olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup diced onion

1 can of chicken broth

1 cup milk, plus 2 Tbsp. milk, divided

1 package frozen cheese tortellini

2-3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes

1 Tbs lemon juice

2 tsp cornstarch

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

3-4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon

salt & pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.

2. Once hot, add in garlic and onions, stirring and cooking 2-3 minutes.

3. Add in chicken broth and 1 cup milk. Heat mixture until just barely boiling.
4. Add in frozen tortellini. Give it a quick stir and place the lid on the skillet. Set timer to 10 minutes. Pasta will heat and eventually come to a boil.

5. Meanwhile, give the spinach a few quick chops and cut the sun dried tomatoes into smaller pieces.

6. Combine 2 Tbs milk and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, stirring until smooth.

7. Once timer goes off, remove the lid but keep the heat on medium. Add in milk-cornstarch mixture, stirring to combine.

8. Add in all remaining ingredients except for Parmesan cheese.
9. Give pasta a few stirs. After about a minute or two the spinach will be wilted and the sauce will thicken up.

10. Top with parmesan cheese and enjoy!!
