Tuscan Tortellini

This is a really tasty recipe and a little different than your typical tortellini dish.  We liked it a lot!  Don't skip the cheese though - it adds a bit of a needed salty side.  We also used regular Italian because I didn't have any of the other... and it was delish.

Tuscan Tortellini

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pkg fresh cheese tortellini
•  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
•  
• 1/4 cup Tuscan Italian Salad Dressing (or regular Italian)
•  
• 1 Carrot
•  
• 1 Head of broccoli, chopped
•  
• 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese Shredded

 

Instructions

1. Cook the tortellini, but don't over-cook!!! It will turn to mush in the pan if you do.
2. Break up the broccoli and use a peeler to julienne the carrots. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and add the veggies. Cook until they begin to brown a little. Add the garlic for about a minute.
3. Add the pasta and the dressing. Stir every minute or so until the pasta begins to get golden and a little crisp on the edges.
4. Sprinkle with cheese (don’t skip) and serve immediately!
