I enjoy all things pasta, and tortellini is my favorite. The flavor of this dish is amazing. Even my husband, who hates pasta of any kind, loves it! It's a great recipe for non-spinach fans to try, too. —Jenny Dubinsky, Inwood, West Virginia

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced

Test Kitchen tips

Serve this lightly sauced pasta dish in shallow bowls.
