I’m glad you like it. I think I found it in one of those little pamphlet-recipe books they have at the supermarket checkout, and we’ve enjoyed it many times.

I was invited to a buffet lunch recently where they served a cheese tortellini dish with spinach in what seemed like a Parmesan sauce. Have to find a recipe for that, too.

I looked on line and there are several recipes for tortellini in Parmesan cream sauce. The Brown Eyed Baker added spinach to her recipe. I wish my posting skills would allow me to post it for you!
