Even the leftovers are amazingly yummy. When I make this meal, it’s always more than we need for just the two of us but having leftovers is always great because this is such a delicious meal that tastes great reheated. Cut the ingredients in half if you do not need this amount. One of the benefits of living in the same townhouse complex as my daughter and son-in-law is that I can call them up and share all of these delicious recipes with them, and they are loving having us close as well. I love to share food with others and this is a great recipe to share.

Making the tortellini Primavera with fresh vegetables

Start off by peeling and dicing the carrots and dice the celery into small pieces, slice the zucchini and squash and cut the broccoli florets into smaller pieces. Place all the veggies into a bowl along with the frozen peas and set aside. Using a large sauce pan or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the vegetables and continue cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes. Pour vegetable broth into saucepan and heat up for a minute or two and then add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Season to taste. In a medium sauce pan, boil tortellini a minute less than the package directions. Drain and rinse the tortellini and then add to the vegetable mixture. Gently stir and enjoy! That’s it. Super easy, super quick and super delicious.

Helpful tip

Preparing the vegetables ahead of time will cut down on the time it takes to make this meal making it even quicker than approximately 30 minutes.
