Tortellini with lemon and courgette

You can use any filling for this tortellini dish but we found goat’s cheese and pesto to be great.

Method

  1. Put a large pan of water on to boil. Meanwhile, cook pine nuts in a hot, dry non-stick frying pan until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. Tip tortellini into the boiling water and cook according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside.

  3. Melt butter in the frying pan, add courgette and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, then stir in the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Add the cooked tortellini and toss well. Season to taste. Divide between 2 plates and scatter with toasted pine nuts and basil leaves to serve.
