With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can enjoy a restaurant-quality meal right in the comfort of your own home.
Let’s Do This!
- 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated three-cheese tortellini, uncooked
- 2 oz (1/2 of an 8 oz package) cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/8 tsp black pepper & salt to taste
- 1/2 bag (6 oz) baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes (about 1/2 pint)
Steps
Add the uncooked tortellini, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt to the Instant Pot. Close the lid, set the valve to the sealing position, and cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Quick release the pressure when the cooking time is complete. Drain any excess water if necessary and set the tortellini aside.
Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and add the cream cheese. Cook until melted, stirring to keep from burning. Gradually whisk in the milk and stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and the black pepper.
Cancel Instant Pot setting and add the baby spinach. Stir to coat evenly with the cheese mixture.
Return the tortellini to the pot and mix lightly to combine with the spinach mixture.
Sprinkle with quartered cherry tomatoes and the remaining Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Tips for Success
- Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Feel free to add more black pepper or even a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spinach and ripe cherry tomatoes will elevate the taste and texture of your dish.
