Preparation
Step 1
Cook the tortellini according to package directions; add the peas during the last minute of cooking time.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook stirring frequently, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes, and cook, tossing occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and tomato begins to soften, 4-5 minutes more.
Add the tortellini, peas, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper to the skillet and toss to combine.
