Shelf stable tortellini are the ideal pantry item because they are ready in a snap, taste great, and have a bit more intrigue than standard pasta. We use this pantry powerhouse to our advantage in this verdant meal. Herby pesto, roasted zucchini, and cheese tortellini come together for a delicious weeknight meal everyone will love.
Note: We don’t recommend scheduling this meal, as the tortellini will get too soggy.
