Directions

  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.

  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.

  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.

Recipe Note

This is a nice vegetarian tortellini pasta option. The Gorgonzola cheese gives it a hearty flavor, and my kids like it.
