1. Sauté: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp oil from the jarred sun-dried tomatoes, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Stir in the Flour and Seasonings: Add the all-purpose flour, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Stir into the tomato mixture to create a roux.

5. Finish and Serve: Turn off the heat and add heavy cream, chopped fresh spinach, and grated parmesan cheese. Stir and heat until the spinach wilts. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, if needed. Garnish Marry me tortellini with red pepper flakes, and enjoy!
