Lemon, Olive & Squash Tortellini
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Cook the tortellini for 5 minutes in salted water. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Cook the garlic in the olive oil on medium heat until soft but not browned. Add the juice of once lemon to the garlic and then add the pasta back. Add a 1/2 cup of parmesan and gently stir a few times to coat and melt the cheese, adding a 1/4 cup of the pasta water to thicken the sauce. Add more pasta water a tablespoon at a time if it is too dry. The sauce should be a thin coat around the tortellini. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat.
  3. Thinly slice the other Meyer lemon and add about 6-8 slices to the pasta. Add the olives, parsley and squash and zucchini and gently fold and let the residual heat soften the zucchini and squash.
  4. Transfer to plate and top with more parmesan and pepper.
