Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2-3 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 2 cups asparagus spears cut into ~2" pieces - Note: I only add the asparagus when they're in season. See note below.
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 9-10 oz. cheese tortellini
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼-1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and carrots, and cook until slightly softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli, peas, asparagus (optional - when in season), and tortellini.
  • Top with broth, pushing the pasta and vegetables under the broth so they are mostly covered.
  • Bring to a boil, and once boiling, reduce heat to medium, and cover with lid. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tortellini and vegetables are soft.
  • Drain pasta, then return to pot.
  • Add red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, cream, and cheese. Stir well to combine.
  • Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

I only include asparagus when it's in season.  Instead I'll add extra broccoli or some chopped cauliflower.
