Notes
I find spinach in packages from 5 oz up to 10 oz, this particular batch you see in the photos was an 8 oz bag, you can use any amount between 5 and 10 oz. Ten ounces will be a lot, but it will work.
I use fresh tortellini that is found in the refrigerated section, or even the deli, of most grocery stores. If using dried tortellini, that is found on the pasta aisle, it will need to cook more than twice as long as fresh or frozen.
