Cooking Steps
- Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- While pan heats, slice green onions, keeping green and white parts separate.
- When pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, corn, green onion whites and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often until corn is golden.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top. Stir to coat corn and green onions.
- Add cream, cream cheese, pesto and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium.
- Cook for 3-5 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slighty.
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add tortellini. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain tortellini, then add to pan of sauce. Stir to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
- Add spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Stir for 30 sec, until spinach wilts.
- Divide tortellini between bowls.
- Sprinkle cheddar and remaining green onions over top.
