One pan Tortellini Primavera. Loads of veggies and as can be seen, super easy to make. I don’t make many stove top meals because I feel like dinner should be able to cook without standing over and stirring. This recipe happens to be an exception to the rule. Just let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Tortellini Primavera!!

It really goes all in the pot at once and simmers. I don’t do the meals you have to cook before to cook them. Like boil pasta, THEN put it in a pan to bake. No way. What genius thought of cooking twice for one meal?

You could easily use all frozen vegetables for this one too. Makes it even easier to keep the ingredients on hand for a night when you just don’t have a dinner planned. Buy triple batches of all the ingredients needed and you have 3 easy dinners waiting for any time you need a quick and healthy dinner. You can even freeze the parmesan cheese.
