Ingredients:

Serving

2 (9 oz) packages cheese tortellini
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, finely chopped , plus 3 tbsp. of the oil
4 shallots, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
4 bunches watercress, well rinsed and tough stems removed
1 cup vegetable broth (or pasta water)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 (15 1/2 oz) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
vegan parmesan cheese, grated (or soy cheese grated)

Directions:

Cook tortellini in large pot lightly salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water, if using instead of broth. Toss pasta with 1 Tbs. sun-dried tomato oil, and set aside.
Heat remaining oil in same pot over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in crushed red pepper.
Add watercress to pot with broth, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook until watercress is limp but still bright green, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans, and heat through for 1 minute. Add reserved pasta, and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and cheese, and serve. Pass additional Parmesan at the table.
