 Ingredients List

  • 1 16oz/450g package good quality tortellini
  • 1 6oz/170g piece pancetta, chopped into small cubes
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup/250ml whipping/heavy cream
  • ½ cup/120ml white wine
  • ½ cup/40g grated Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 6oz/1 240g bags fresh, washed Baby Spinach

 Directions


1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil

2. While the tortellini is cooking, put a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

4. Meanwhile, Cook the tortellini according to the package directions.

5. Add the wine to the pan with the pancetta, raise the heat to high and boil to cook off the alcohol for about 1-2 minutes.

6. Lower the heat to medium heat Add the cream. When the cream is hot, stir in the spinach & Parmesan cheese and allow the spinach to wilt.
