Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, roughly chopped sun dried tomatoes (including any oil clinging to them), Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the garlic is tender and fragrant and the sun dried tomatoes have softened slightly.

Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Add the cheese tortellini to the pot along with a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine and ensure the tortellini is submerged in the sauce. Cook according to package directions, typically 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini is tender.

Turn off the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh spinach. Continue stirring gently until the spinach has completely wilted into the creamy sauce.

Taste the tortellini and sauce, then season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
