I love any recipe that includes spinach and tortellini. Throw in a little smoked turkey sausage and you can’t go wrong. My neighbor makes this all the time and always brings me a small container to take for lunch so I finally decided to make it. And let me tell you – it was delicious!!

This would be a perfect lunch for my daughter and I (I homeschool her). My husband is not a fan of tortellini, but my daughter and I love tortellini. I have four packages of different kinds of frozen ones I found at Sprouts Farmers Market. This would be perfect for us. Thanks for the great recipe!!
