Servings:

Set the water boiling in a large pot.
While waiting for the water to boil, start on the sauce. To a large deep pan add the minced garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes at the same time. The sun-dried tomatoes are coated in oil, so you don’t need to add any extra. Cook over low heat for about 30 seconds, then hit the pan with the white wine and allow it to simmer until reduced to nearly nothing, it will take about 3-5 minutes.
Now that the water is boiled, add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions.
Get back to the sauce. Once the wine is reduced, pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stir until the cheese is incorporated into the sauce, taste and add salt if needed, then stir in fresh spinach and basil leaves and allow them to wilt in the sauce for no longer than 2-3 minutes.
Now add the tortellini to the sauce. You can either drain it first or add directly from the pot using a slotted spoon. Toss to coat with the sauce and serve.
