Cheesy Tortellini with Pesto Sauce
Tender cheese tortellini and grilled chicken breast tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with wilted spinach for a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
0.75 cup Cheese tortellini
1 tbsp Basil pesto
1 cup Baby spinach
0.5 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice it into bite-sized strips.
Drain the tortellini, reserving 1 tablespoon of the pasta water, and return the pasta to the pot.
Add the basil pesto, baby spinach, sliced chicken, and reserved pasta water to the pot, tossing gently until the spinach is wilted and vibrant.
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with shredded parmesan cheese before serving.
