Ingredients

  • 1 lb fully cooked meatballs
  • 1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce (or homemade)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 20-ounce refrigerated tortellini
  • 2 cups spinach

Instructions

  • In a heavy-bottom skillet, stir in marinara sauce, 1 ½ cups water, and meatballs. Bring to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes.
  • Toss in the tortellini and gently stir them into the sauce. Be sure to coat the tortellini fully. Cover and cook for 12 minutes more or until the tortellini is tender and the meatballs are cooked through. Give the pasta a gentle stir as needed.
  • Uncover and stir in the spinach, and sprinkle with mozzarella if desired. Cover and cook for another minute or two until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is melted. You can also broil for a few seconds if using an oven-safe skillet.
