Tortellini, Chicken, and Arugula Salad

Tortellini, Chicken, and Arugula Salad Recipe

A bright, springtime salad that comes together in a cinch. Hearty cheese tortellini, shredded rotisserie chicken, and peppery arugula join forces to create a light, yet filling, salad with plenty of texture and substance. Zippy lemon dressing adds welcomed vibrancy while shaved Parmesan adds a hit of salty, full-bodied flavor.

Hearty Tortellini Soup

Hearty Tortellini Soup Recipe

This satisfying main is a great way to reset after a few weeks of meat-centered holiday eating. If freezing, be sure to cool the soup completely before adding the tortellini or they will absorb too much liquid and lose their shape.

Easier Chicken Noodle Soup

Credit: Jennifer Causey

Easier Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Using cheese-filled tortellini as the noodle here adds more flavor than plain pasta; a hint of miso further enriches the broth. You can make the soup a couple of days ahead--just leave out the pasta, as it will swell once it goes into the liquid. Reheat the soup until it comes to a simmer. Then add the tortellini, and cook 6 minutes.
