12 ounces fresh cheese tortellini (cooked according to package directions)
1/2 cup pesto sauce
2 cups Baby Spinach, coarsely chopped

  • Drain the tortellini and add to the serving bowl.
  • Add about ¼ cup of the cooking water and toss.
  • Goal is to melt the cheese and pesto, but not to make a watery sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese often contains additives that can alter the taste and texture of the dish.
  • If you don't have tortellini, you can use other types of pasta, such as ravioli or penne. Just be sure to cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the bacon. You can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini, to the sauce.
  • If you want a creamier sauce, add a little bit of heavy cream or milk. You can also add a tablespoon or two of butter for a richer flavor.
  • Serve this dish immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil. You can also serve it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

Conclusion:

This cheese tortellini with spinach is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach.
