Ingredients
  

  • 1½ Lbs Cheese Tortellini 81701
  • 1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
  • ½ Onion
  • 2 Celery stalks
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 8 Cups Stock (Chicken or Vegetable)
  • ¼ Cup Basil Pesto
  • 1 Cup White Beans
  • 1 Lb Asparagus
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas
  • 8 oz Baby Spinach
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Fresh Basil garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare vegetables: Cut onion and celery into ½" dice. Cut asparagus into 1" pieces on the bias. Rough chop garlic.
  • In a sauce pot, heat 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. Sauté onion, garlic, and celery until they start to become tender, 5-10 minutes.
  • Add both 8 cups of stock and basil pesto.
  • Once stock starts to simmer, add the asparagus and keep to a low simmer for 10 minutes.
  • After several minutes of simmering, add the peas, white beans, baby spinach and tortellini.
  • Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until everything is heated (Pasta should be cooked to 165° F) and asparagus is cooked through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish with fresh basil.

Notes

  • Add in any other of your favorite fresh herbs.
  • Other excellent greens to add are zucchini, broccoli or snap peas.
  • Other types of beans work great too. Try kidney beans or black beans if you don't have white.
