Notes
Nutrition Disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.
Tortellini timing: Add tortellini during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking to keep it tender.
Kale: Stir in kale (or can use spinach) at the very end so it wilts but stays bright and fresh.
Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth and cheese tortellini, skip the meat.
Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat gently.
