What's For Dinner?A healthier option

I'm getting ready to have back surgery so my meals are more vegetarian but I promise you this is delicious! This recipe is even kid approve they plowed down 2 plates of it!

Ingredients:
1 TBS olive oil (I used vegetable oil it worked fine)
1 large sweet potato peeled and cut into 1 in cubes
1 TBS minced fresh rosemary 
1/2 tsp Pink himalayan salt
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth (I used vegetable)
1 (5oz bag) baby spinach 
1/2 cup half and half
1 (12oz) bag frozen cheese tortellini (I used the refrigerated ones from Walmart)

Instructions:
Heat oil in a 10-12 in skillet over medium heat

Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes, rosemary, and salt. Cover the skillet and cook stirring occasionally for about 5-7 mins until sweet potatoes are just starting to get soft

Add the broth stir it in add the spinach 1 handful at a time stirring until it wilts down before adding more.

Stir in the half and half then cover and bring the liquid to a simmer

Uncover and stir in the tortellini cook, stirring frequently for 10-15 mins until the tortellini are plump and cooked through




I also added red kidney beans but you don't have to :) This made enough to feed 6
