01
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the tortellini and cook it for about 7 minutes until it’s just tender. Drain the pasta and set it aside. In a big bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, parsley, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Toss the warm tortellini in this dressing so everything gets nicely coated. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge to chill for at least a couple of hours.

Step 2
While the pasta is chilling, place your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Once they’re done, drain, cool them under cold water, peel, and cut into quarters.

Step 3
When you’re ready to serve, gently stir in the spinach, feta, and chopped onion into the pasta mixture. Arrange the egg quarters on top or around the salad, and you’re good to go!
