Tip:

Use pre-cut greens that are washed and ready-to-use to save time and eliminate waste. Substitute 1 bunch rainbow or Swiss chard, chopped into 1-inch pieces.

Prepare using 1 pkg. (12 ounce) dried cheese tortellini.

A simple technique for chopping fresh basil is to chiffonade. Simply stack several cleaned basil leaves on top of each other. Roll up tightly, then slice the roll into thin strips. Sprinkle into the dish you are cooking or over salad for a special herb flavor.

*Substitution: Use leftover chicken or 1 package (10 oz.) pre-cooked sliced chicken instead. Omit olive oil and proceed with step 2.
