quick and easy tortellini
warning... no recipe was used in the making of dinner tonight. Proceed at own risk.
It truly was a fly by the seat of my pants
throw anything in the pot kind of dinner
and it had to be done in less than 25 minutes.
ingredients: cheese tortellini (one package) low fat Italian dressing (1/4 cup) minced garlic (2 tbsp) canned diced tomatoes (14 oz can) sliced fresh mushrooms (1 to 2 cups) baby spinach (8 cups) chopped fresh basil (1/4 cup) shredded mozzarella (1/2 cup plus 1/2 cup)
* cornstarch (1 tbsp)
COOK tortellini as per package directions
MEANWHILE, in a large skillet...
HEAT Italian dressing on med-low heat
ADD garlic, mushrooms, canned tomatoes
STIR and bring to BOIL
ADD spinach
STIR until WILTED
ADD 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese & STIR
* I found the sauce a bit runny, so I took 1-2 tbsp of the sauce and added it to 2 tbsp of cornstarch, stirred until it was mixed. I then added it to the sauce and brought to a boil until it was thickened.
ADD SAUCE to COOKED tortellini and STIR
TOP with remaining shredded cheese.
SERVES four.
