EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Try yellow summer squash instead of the zucchini.

If cooked pasta sticks together, rinse it gently with hot running water for a few seconds, then drain thoroughly.

I added onion, crushed red pepper, and a bit of Parmesan cheese and substituted canned diced tomatoes and it was SO good. Very flavorful! My boyfriend is a meat eater to the core and he went back for thirds!

This would be great with some pesto mixed in. Knorr has a packaged Pesto that you mix with water and a little oil, I will cut down on the water and it should add a lot of flavor to this dish.

It was a little too bland, but healthy tortellini is hard to find. Thanks for the recipe.
