Author's Notes

If you wanted to use dry tortellini in this recipe, that would be fine. The dry tortellini, which some prefer, only takes a few extra minutes to prepare.

If using dry tortellini, after cooking the tortellini in the chicken broth, remove it with a slotted handle and add it to the sauté pan of spinach and tomatoes.

Stir fry for a minute and add the entire pan of ingredients back to the pot of simmering broth.
