Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-ounce / 255 g (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese-filled spinach tortellini
  • 1 15-ounce / 425 g (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¾ cup (3 ounces) crumbled feta cheese with garlic and herbs
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) olive oil
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups (960 ml) fresh baby spinach
  • If you can't find garlic and herb feta, use plain feta and add ½ teaspoon of dried oregano and a pinch of garlic powder along with the cheese.
  • For extra greens, wilt the spinach directly into the pan with the tomato during the last minute of cooking.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the finished dish adds a wonderful brightness and cuts through the richness of the cheese.

Method
 

  1. Cook the tortellini according to package directions.
  2. Drain well and return the cooked tortellini to the hot pan.
  3. Gently stir in the rinsed cannellini beans, crumbled feta cheese, and olive oil.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the cheese begins to melt.
  5. Add the chopped tomato and cook for one minute more, just until warmed.
  6. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  7. To serve, divide the fresh baby spinach among four plates or shallow bowls. Spoon the hot tortellini mixture directly over the spinach, allowing it to wilt slightly.
