Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use the same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While the water comes to a boil, peel, then mince the shallot. Halve tomatoes. Zest lemon, then cut into wedges. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Add tortellini to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl). Drain, then return to the same pot. Set aside.
While tortellini cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Remove pan from heat. Transfer almonds to a plate. Set aside.
Heat the same pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 min. Add tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min.
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add pesto and reserved pasta water to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add tortellini, spinach, lemon zest, half the Parmesan and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Remove from heat and stir together until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle almonds and remaining Parmesan over top. Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
