Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste

  • 1 anchovy fillet, chopped

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup dry cheese tortellini

  • 1 (15 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish

  • 1 pinch dried oregano

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in tomato paste and anchovy fillet; cook until fragrant and the color deepens, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in tortellini and beans; cook until tortellini are cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.

  3. Stir in red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add spinach; cook and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  4. Ladle into bowls and garnish with red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese.
