We've heard the nasty rumors about kale for years (thinks she's better than us, taking hardworking lettuces' jobs in salads), and we don’t believe a word: kale's been nothing but good to us. She's great here, healthy and with a slightly bitter taste, adding to the earthy, meaty mushrooms and rich tortellini. Reputation means nothing; the flavor is everything. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. The easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak strips reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add to tortellini as desired.
