Broth

Tortellini and Spinach

Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bring to a Simmer

    Heat the pot over medium-high heat until the broth begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes to develop the flavors.

  3. 3

    Strain the Broth

    After 10 minutes, strain the broth to remove the aromatics (garlic, thyme, and bay leaf), and return the clear broth to the pot.

Cook the Tortellini

  1. 4

    Add Tortellini

    Bring the strained broth back to a gentle boil, then add the cheese tortellini to the pot.

  2. 5

    Cook Tortellini

    Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are tender.

Add Spinach

  1. 6

    Incorporate Spinach

    Once the tortellini are cooked, add the fresh spinach to the pot. Stir gently until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve the Dish

  1. 7

    Plate the Tortellini

    Ladle the tortellini and broth into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 8

    Enjoy

    Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Tortellini Ai Brodo!
