This is a nice vegetarian tortellini pasta option. The Gorgonzola cheese gives it a hearty flavor, and my kids like it.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package spinach and cheese tortellini
- 1 (8 ounce) package cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (8 ounce) package snow peas, trimmed
- 1 (4 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light cream
- 1 (4 ounce) container crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, divided
- ¼ cup butter
- freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook both kinds of tortellini in the boiling water until they float, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, return to the pot, and keep warm.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook and stir snow peas, mushrooms, carrots, green onions, garlic, and salt until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Pour vegetable mixture into the pot with the cooked tortellini and toss.
Step 3
Add cream, 1/2 the Gorgonzola cheese, butter, and pepper to the pot with the pasta mixture. Cook over medium heat until heated through and cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle remaining Gorgonzola cheese on top and serve immediately.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute sugar snap peas for snow peas if you want; it's easy to exchange vegetables for your liking.
