Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy vegetable sauce.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Creamy Tortellini Primavera!
