Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortellini

    In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the cheese-filled tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped scallions and pine nuts. Sauté until scallions are soft and pine nuts are golden, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Spinach

    Stir in diced Roma tomatoes and fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are soft, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Crumble goat cheese on top before serving.
