  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it is a deep brown color, about 5-7 minutes, swirling the skillet occasionally. Add in the bell pepper and ham and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in the tortellini and the spinach. Toss gently to coat.
