Spinach and Tortellini

Spinach nutritionally outscores even broccoli with is long list of vitamins and minerals. And bagged spinach is super convenient. It's prewashed so all you have to do is open the bag and start building a salad or sandwich. You can even microwave it in the bag for 2 to 3 minutes for a quick side dish.

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season the water well with salt. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions.

Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, peas, garlic and mushrooms. Saute until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Add in the spinach and saute until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and toss in the pasta. Top with the Parmesan and pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide among 4 plates. Serve each plate with 2 cups of the mixed greens.

Each serving: 460 total calories, with salad

    Lots of garlic. Lots of veggies and just the right amount of pasta. This should be called Many Veggies and Tortellini not just Spinach and Tortellini.

    Very good! If you take time ahead to measure, chop, grate, etc. and have it all ready, this dinner was ready for the table in just about 10 minutes! It is a little bland, as you can tell from the ingredient list, but a couple pinches of ground cayenne pepper and a little Kosher salt make it great!
