Cheese-filled pasta like tortellini is one of my favorite things to cook with, because it’s ready in just 3 minutes and it’s SO good!

3. twelve Minute Spicy Feta Pasta

Remember feta pasta? This is the 12-minute spicy version of that dish and it’s made in a very different way, because you’ll cook it on the stove, not the oven. It’s flavorful, healthy, not overly salty and full of garlic and fresh herbs. Totally my kind of pasta!

If you love salmon and you love tortellini, this salmon pasta is definitely the recipe you need to try from this collection. If you pick just one, trust me – this should be the one. It’s so wonderful. You’ll need salmon, cheese-filled tortellini, tomato, zucchini, basil and some cream cheese to make the creamy pasta sauce.

Cook up some penne or whatever type of pasta you desire and then just add in the pesto, some milk, garlic and don’t forget to add in some shredded cauliflower or cauliflower rice.
