Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add the diced zucchini, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Add the frozen tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until tender.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
