Ingredients
- 12 ounce cheese tortellini

4. 4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. 5. Add the cooked tortellini, seared beef, and fresh spinach to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until the spinach wilts and the dish is heated through.
6. 6. If desired, sprinkle the Garlic Butter Beef and Spinach Tortellini with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve the dish hot and enjoy every delicious bite!
