Nothing Homemade - Tortellini with Spinach & Mushroom

I found yet another pasta recipe on Pinterest.  The recipe uses bow tie pasta but the Boyfriend & I both thought that it was kind of plain & boring.  So to dress it up, I got a couple packages of ready to heat tortellini from Trader Joe's as a substitute.

So here is what I needed...

     1 package of Trader Giotto's Spinach Tortellini

     1 package of Trader Giotto's Cheese Tortellini

     4 gloves garlic, minced

     1 large shallot, medium diced

     1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

     1 package baby portobello, sliced

     1 big bunch spinach, stemmed & halved

     Salt & black pepper to taste

     1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

This was really quick...

     Boil a big pot of water & cook the tortellini according to the packages

     Over low heat, sauté the garlic, shallot, & red pepper flakes in oil until fragrant

     Increase to medium heat, add in mushroom slices & cook until they start to get tender

     Add in spinach leaves & just wilt them; season with salt & black pepper

     Drain the pasta & toss everything together

The whole dish was super simple and we liked using the tortellini because it added some more substance & made it more filling.
