Introduction

For this recipe, I've suggested the Buitoni pre-made Tortellinis you can find readily available at the supermarket (just look for the green and red label near your cheese section). But, really, any good-quality pre-made tortellini will do.

Ingredients

    *1 (8-oz) package Buitoni Tortellini

    *1 pound summer squash, washed and sliced

    *1 pound zucchini, washed and sliced

    *3 tablespoons olive oil

    *3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

    *2 tablespoons thyme

    *2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

    *1 tablespoons cayenne

    *salt and pepper, to taste

    *1 cup Parmesan, freshly shredded

Tips

Note: Remember, Italians believe good quality pasta water should taste like the sea, so don't be afraid to add salt to your water.


Directions

1. Cook tortellini based on package instructions, drain, and cool (do not rinse).

2. Meanwhile, wash and slice squash and zucchini and transfer to a nonstick skillet with olive oil, garlic, paprika, thyme, parsley, and cayenne. Saute over medium heat until tender, flipping occasionally.

3. Remove squash from heat and toss with tortellini and Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and perhaps even more cayenne or paprika) and enjoy! Makes 5 servings.
