From the back of the Kirkland Chicken stock box. Tortellini can be subbed with pasta of your choice. Can also add cooked Italian Sausage or Cannellini beans at Step 3. I added a cube of frozen basil that I get from Trader Joes. Ingredients:

4 chopped fresh garlic cloves |
28 ounces stewed tomatoes |
1 (6 ounce) bag of pre-washed fresh spinach (about 6 oz) or 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach |

1 lb frozen tortellini |
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a 4 qt pot on medium heat.
2. Add Chopped garlic and stir until softened.
3. Add tomatoes, spinach and stock and bring to a boil.
4. Lower to simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Add Tortellini and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
