Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
• ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
• ½ pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle vinaigrette

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high power for 7 minutes. Set aside and squeeze to drain all moisture when cool enough to handle.

Step 3

Toss drained spinach, beans, and tomatoes together in a large bowl.

Step 4

Drain tortellini and rinse under cold water. Toss into vegetables. Mix in feta and Parmesan cheeses, vinaigrette, and lemon juice. Place in the refrigerator to chill, about 2 hours. Serve chilled.
