Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill. Boil the pasta according to pack instructions, then tip into a colander and cool under gently running water. Meanwhile, grill the bacon on a baking tray until golden and crisp at the edges. When almost ready, tip the walnuts onto the tray to toast a little. Snip the bacon into strips.

  • step 2

    Mix the lemon zest and juice, Parmesan and oil in a large bowl. Season with pepper, then tip in the spinach, tortellini, bacon and walnuts. Toss well, add the ricotta in small blobs, then gently toss. Season to taste, then serve with a drizzle more oil and more Parmesan, if you like.

I am disappointed that the recipe uses shop bought filled tortellini!!!! It sounds really tasty but I would have hoped for home made pasta!

Maybe I am missing the point though!!

Love this. How long will it keep in the fridge is what I’d like to know. Would happily make on Sunday nights and use for lunches Mon-Thu at work if it will keep that long

Used cottage cheese as no ricotta and I used parmigiano as had no parmesan

Unfortunately this recipe didn't go down too well with me, the lemon combined with the cheese wasn't a great combination in my opinion. However I did absolutely love everything else, so think I'll combine it with a cheese or white sauce next time.
