Notes
[‘Check the tortellini after 20 minutes to prevent overcooking.’, ‘Use softened cream cheese to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce.’, ‘Add spinach during the last 30 minutes to retain its vibrant color and texture.’, ‘Taste the sauce before serving and adjust salt and pepper as needed.’, ‘Double the recipe for leftovers—it reheats beautifully.’]
