Ingredients:
-1 pack of meat filled tortellini (I use chicken and bacon)
-1 pack of veg filled tortellini (I use spinach and ricotta)
-1 large knob of butter
-1 handful of quick cook veg (I have used spinach, but chopped mushrooms or sweet pepper will do)
-1 spring onion
-1 piece of cheese
- Put some water on the pan to boil, whilst this is going start chopping your spring onion (and chopping your veg if need be).
- Put your tortellini in the hot water and leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- After the 3-4 minutes of cooking, draining the pasta and put straight into a large bowl.
For spinach or sweet pepper:-
- put the butter and spring onions straight on the pasta and stir till it is all melted. The tear in the spinach and stir in again.
For mushrooms:-
- Melt the butter in the same pan used for the pasta, add the spring onion and mushrooms and sweat off for 2 mins.
- Once done, pour over the pasta and stir in.
Now just plate up and grate some cheese and serve.
By mixing the two flavour pastas I have made sure my little ones get meat, veg, cheese and carbs in one dish, and I don't feel exhausted by having spent loads of time in the kitchen.
