Step 1

1. Prep ingredients Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Finely grate ½ teaspoon lemon zest, then cut lemon into wedges. Finely grate Parmesan. Peel and finely chop 1 teaspoon garlic.

Step 2

Add tortelloni to boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 2–3 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.

Step 3

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium, tilting and swirling pan often for even browning. Cook until butter turns deep golden and smells nutty, 6–8 minutes (watch closely to avoid burning). Stir in lemon zest and chopped garlic, then remove skillet. Stir in reserved pasta water.

Step 4

Add cooked tortelloni to skillet with brown butter sauce and cook over medium-high, gently stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened and coats pasta, about 2 minutes. Add spinach in batches, stirring after each addition; cook until spinach is just wilted, 1–2 minutes. Season to taste with salt.

Step 5

Spoon brown butter tortelloni into bowls, then top with some of the Parmesan. Serve remaining Parmesan alongside, and pass lemon wedges to squeeze over top. Enjoy!
