Creamy Tortelloni Limone

with Spinach & Parmesan

Little tortellini are a stuffed pasta fave. And perhaps the only thing better than tortellini is BIGGER tortellini... aka tortelloni. These pillowy stuffed pasta pockets are made with a tender dough and their larger size means even more of that delicious cheese filling. Here we combine tortelloni with spinach in a lemony cream sauce. The result is a quick meal that’s oh-so comforting yet still feels light. It’s pasta-bly the easiest, most satisfying dish ever!

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

    Quarter lemon.

  2. 2

    Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Reduce to a low simmer and cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes.

    Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

  3. 3

    While pasta cooks, heat cream sauce base, juice from half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings), and garlic powder in a large pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir in spinach; cook until slightly wilted, 30-60 seconds. Remove pan from heat.

    Add drained tortelloni, half the Parmesan, and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) to pan with sauce; toss to coat. (TIP: If needed, stir in pasta cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until pasta is coated in creamy sauce.) Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
