Tortellini Bake


1.5 cups tortellini (I used mini ravioli)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup light cream
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan
Olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch or flour
Chopped prosciutto, optional

Cook pasta, drain, set aside. In the meantime, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, saute 1 minute. Add tomatoes, saute 1 minute. Add spinach, let wilt for about 30 seconds. Transfer to a baking dish. Add another teaspoon of olive oil to the hot pan. Add cornstarch and mix until you have a nice roux. Add light cream, bring to a simmer. Add cheese, stir until creamy. Mix the pasta, veggies, and cream sauce. Bake at 35o for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
