This is a recipe from Kraft Foods that I have used for a few years. I usually make it when I have fresh spinach and tomatoes growing in my garden, yummy! My daughter likes most veggies, so she ate it no problem. My son won't eat the red things or the green stringy stuff, but when I make this and it has the tortellini in it and cream sauce he will eat the veggies. If your kids just won't eat tomatoes and spinach, just substitute veggies they do like. I have added grilled chicken to this. It is easy and very good, enjoy!
Creamy Tortellini with Spinach and Tomatoes
1(19oz)pkg frozen cheese tortellini
1C milk
5oz cream cheese, cubed
1/4C + 2T grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/4t black pepper
6oz fresh spinach leaves
1C quartered cherry tomatoes
Boil tortellini according to pkg directions. In skillet, cook cream cheese and milk while stirring until combined. Add 1/4C parmesan cheese and pepper and stir, taste to adjust seasoning. Add spinach; mix well. Drain tortellini and add to spinach, stir lightly. Add tomatoes and rest of parmesan cheese.
