Drain tortellini, then cool the cooked pasta by spreading them out on a large plate or a cookie sheet in a single layer.

  2. Coarsely chop baby spinach. Combine with artichoke pieces, roasted red pepper and red onion.

  3. Chop garlic, then add salt to it and mash it into a paste with the flat of your knife. Transfer garlic paste to a small bowl and add lemon zest, lemon juice and vinegar to it. Whisk in oil, thyme and pepper.

  4. Add pasta and sun-dried tomatoes to the salad. Dress salad and gently toss. Serve or refrigerate.

  5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
