Ingredients

• 20 oz Cheese tortellini
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 2 Carrots, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 4

Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy vegetable sauce.

Step 7

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Creamy Tortellini Primavera!
