Creamy Spinach Tomato Tortellini

I have always loved cheese tortellini. I have purchased it fresh and frozen, but I always rolled on by the dried bag of cheese tortellini in the pasta aisle at the grocery store. That is until I discovered the recipe created by Chungah at damndelicious.net. I have loved so many of her recipes, so I figured why not give that dried cheese filled tortellini a chance! It it was was delicious decision! You can certainly use fresh or frozen cheese tortellini, but I loved the bag of tortellini in this recipe.
