Cook and crumble the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When sausage is almost browned, add onion and garlic; cook for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and onion begins to soften. Add tomatoes and tortellini; stir; reduce heat when sauce comes to a simmer; cover; simmer until tortellini is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Add spinach; stir for 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts; stir in cream.
Sprinkle each serving with cheese, if desired.
