ONE-POT CREAMY PASTA AND GREENS

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add the 5 cups milk, spinach, lemon peel and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the frozen spinach with your spoon, until the spinach is softened and the milk is just simmering, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the pasta and cook, stirring often and vigorously, until the pasta is al dente, 20 to 25 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. If it looks dry at any point, add more milk. The mixture will continue to thicken as it sits, so it's OK if the sauce looks a little soupy.
• Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat, discard the lemon peels, and stir in the Parmesan until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with more Parmesan.

ONE-POT CREAMY CHICKEN TORTELLINI

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper flakes. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions begin to brown on edges.
• Stir in broth and whipping cream; heat to boiling over high heat. Stir in tortellini, chicken and broccoli; return to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tortellini is cooked and broccoli is tender.
• Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese until melted. Let stand 5 minutes; stir. Top with Parmesan cheese.
