Salt
1 pound Buitoni Mixed Cheese Tortellini
2 carrots, peeled
2 medium zucchini
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1. Bring water for pasta to a boil. Salt the water, add the pasta, and cook to al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Use
a vegetable peeler to make ribbons of carrot and zucchini. Keep the vegetables flat on counter and run the
peeler the length of the vegetable. Drop the carrots and zucchini into the pasta water for the last 4 minutes of
cooking time.
2. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat with EVOO and butter. Sauté the shallots and garlic 3-4 minutes
then add peas and heat through, 2 minutes, stir in wine, reduce for half a minute and stir in stock. Toss
drained pasta and vegetables with the sauce, season with salt and pepper, and combine with cheese and
parsley.
