Steps:
- Bring 5 or 6 inches of water to a boil in a large pot. Salt boiling water and add pasta. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until pasta is just tender and the tortellini are floating like buoys. Drain tortellini, then cool the cooked pasta by spreading them out on a large plate or a cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Coarsely chop baby spinach. Combine with artichoke pieces, roasted red pepper and red onion. Chop garlic, then add salt to it and mash it into a paste with the flat of your knife. Transfer garlic paste to a small bowl and add lemon zest, lemon juice and vinegar to it. Whisk in oil, thyme and pepper. Add pasta and sun-dried tomatoes to the salad. Dress salad and gently toss. Serve or refrigerate.
Tips:
- Prep Work: Wash and chop the spinach, bell pepper, red onion, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook the bow-tie pasta according to the package instructions and drain it well.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, vibrant spinach for the best flavor and texture. Opt for ripe bell peppers and red onions for a sweeter taste.
- Marinate the Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Marinating the sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, garlic, and herbs enhances their flavor and makes them more tender.
- Don't Overcook the Pasta: Cook the pasta al dente, slightly firm to the bite, to prevent it from becoming mushy in the salad.
- Combine Ingredients Gently: When mixing the ingredients for the salad, toss them gently to avoid breaking the pasta or wilting the spinach.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and enhance the salad's texture.
