Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, then add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions. Drain and reserve.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds. Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute. Add the milk, whisking, and cook until the mixture has thickened.
Grate in a bit of fresh nutmeg, then season with salt and pepper. Add the spinach, artichoke hearts, and cooked tortellini. Stir to mix.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle the cheeses on top. Broil until the cheeses are melted, 1-2 minutes. Serve.
Notes
slightly adapted from The Rachael Ray Show*If your casserole dish is not broil proof, bake the tortellini at 350ºF for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.This is best eaten right after made versus reheating, as the pasta will soak up the sauce.Nutrition information provided as an estimate only.
