Method
- 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.
- 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.

Loved this! I used pancetta instead of bacon but otherwise the recipe was the same. Agree with other people though that this is definitely not enough food for 4 people, it serves 2 fine. I am also pretty sure that the calories are a bit higher than this, especially when you consider most people are eating twice as much as this recipe is counting on. But even so, the Tortillini I found was 588 calories for 150g.
