Ingredients

4 servings

1 bag fresh cheese tortellini ((10 ounces))
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella pearls
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves (cut into thin strips)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 3 minutes, until just al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Shake off as much excess water as possible, then transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl.
Add the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
To make the dressing, in a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
Toss the dressing with the pasta and serve.
