Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, peel, then thinly slice shallot. Roughly chop spinach. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water. Drain and return tortellini to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, prick tomatoes with a fork. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until blistered, 4-5 min. Reduce heat to medium.Add shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until softened, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Add cream cheese to the pan with veggies. Cook, stirring often, until melted, 1-2 min. Add pesto, reserved pasta water, spinach and half the Parmesan. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and spinach wilts, 2-3 min. Remove from heat.Season with salt and pepper.
Add sauce to the pot with tortellini. Stir until combined, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.Divide tortellini between bowls. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
