Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced and rinsed
2 carrots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 small celery stalks, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 small piece parmesan rind
2 wide strips lemon zest (removed with a vegetable peeler)
1 12-ounce bone-in smoked pork chop, diced (bone reserved)
1 9-ounce package refrigerated cheese or meat tortellini
1 small head escarole, chopped
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrots, celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks wilt, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, the chicken broth, parmesan rind, lemon zest and pork bone. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are almost tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the parmesan rind, lemon zest and pork bone from the pot with a slotted spoon. Bring the broth to a boil over medium heat. Add the tortellini, escarole and diced pork; season with pepper. Cook until the tortellini and escarole are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Parmesan rinds
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 head garlic, halved across the equator
1 onion, halved
4 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt, plus for pasta water
1 pound spinach pasta tortellini (spinach pasta filled with cheese)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To a large saucepan, combine the Parmesan rinds, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, oregano, thyme, bay leaf and salt. Add 8 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the broth for 1 hour 15 minutes, adjusting the heat to maintain a simmer and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Strain into a clean saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, about 4 minutes. Drain well, then add the tortellini to the broth to finish cooking. Stir in the parsley and serve.
