Nutrition Facts
Prep
- Artichokes / Zucchini / Garlic / Roasted bell peppers - Prep as directed. Store separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Tortellini - Boil tortellini according to package directions. If prepping in advance, toss with some oil to prevent sticking. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
- Spinach - Roughly chop spinach. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
Make
- Turn on the oven’s broiler. Place an oven rack 6” / 15 cm from the heat source.
- Heat a large skillet (it should be large enough to hold all of the ingredients, including tortellini) with butter over medium heat. When butter melts, add zucchini with a pinch of salt and saute until zucchini is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in flour and oregano until no dry spots remain.
- Pour in stock and add spinach and garlic. Saute until spinach is wilted, ~3 minutes (you can cover the pan with a lid to speed things up).
- Remove pan from heat and stir in tortellini, artichokes, and roasted bell peppers. Taste and season with some salt and pepper.
- Grate cheese over top of tortellini and place skillet under the broiler. Broil just until the parmesan topping is golden brown, ~2 minutes. (Be careful - the handle of the skillet will get very hot!)
- Serve tortellini immediately and enjoy!

Fantastic! One that my kids liked.
Quick and easy with good flavors. Not a phenomenal dish, but pretty good and comes together quickly.
Worked out wonderfully. Really tasty!
Ours ended up more like soup than pasta in a sauce. I'd omit the broth next time, but otherwise we liked it.
I liked how fast it came together, but I felt it was a little bland?? Maybe a little more seasoning in the sauce? I skipped the artichokes because they aren’t a family favorite.
Very good, everyone loved it. Sauteed mushrooms would have brought it over the top.
