Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 diced yellow onion
6 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried dill
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
18 oz of fresh tortellini
1 cup chopped spinach
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Preparation:
-Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a medium-sized pan and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low-medium heat until the butter is melted.
-Add the diced yellow onion to the pan and cook until golden, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
-Once the onions are golden, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. --Mix well and let them cook together for an additional 2 minutes.
-Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir to combine. -Gradually pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth while continuing to stir. Ensure the broth is fully mixed in and repeat the process until all the broth is used. This should result in a smooth sauce.
-Season the sauce with ½ teaspoon each of dry oregano, basil, and dill. If you prefer, you can use an Italian seasoning blend. Also, if you like spicing it up, add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
-Let the sauce simmer over medium-low heat for approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
-Add 1 cup of heavy cream and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
-Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
-Once the sauce is ready, add the fresh tortellini pasta to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for exactly 4 minutes. Fresh tortellini cooks quickly, so be cautious not to overcook.
-Turn off the heat and gently stir in the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes.
-Serve your creamy tortellini pasta in bowls, garnished with the chopped parsley on top. Enjoy your delicious Winter Indulgence dish!
