Main Ingredients

1 package cheese-stuffed tortellini
2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
to taste Salt
to taste Pepper

Vinaigrette

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
Meanwhile, cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Assembly

Drain the tortellini and combine it with the roasted vegetables in a large bowl.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the dish and toss gently to combine all flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with extra chopped basil.

Notes

For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables like broccoli or carrots. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give a nice kick if desired. This dish also pairs well with garlic bread and side salads.
