Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 can 28 ounces crushed tomatoes with basil and oregano
1 can 15 ounces tomato puree
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
¾ teaspoon pepper adjust to taste
3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 bag 20 ounce Tortellini cheese pasta
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
2 cups baby spinach tightly packed
2 tablespoons Fresh grated parmesan extra for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot.
Sauté onion until softened and translucent.
Sauté garlic until garlic is fragrant, cooks in a minute or two.
Add flour, constantly stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
Add in a can of crushed tomatoes (with basil and oregano). Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes to build the flavors of tomatoes.
Add tomato puree. Stir well, and cook for a few minutes. Time to add the seasonings – Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, sugar, salt and pepper.
Let it cook for a minute or two to allow the seasoning to blend into the sauce.
Pour the stock (or use broth), and bring it to a boil.
Once the broth is boiling add tortellini pasta. Cook pasta as per packet instructions until al-dente. I used dried tortellini pasta, which cooks for 7 to 10 minutes.
Once pasta is cooked al-dente, turn off the heat.
Immediately stir heavy cream, fresh basil, and baby spinach into the soup.
Stir a little freshly grated parmesan cheese if you like.
Serve hot with shavings of parmesan, sprinkle of red chili flakes, and fresh basil on top. Enjoy with crusty bread and a glass of wine.
