Ravioli Primavera

I'm starting to gear up for spring and summer dishes and nothing says warm weather like primavera, which means "in the style of spring" in Italian. I saw this recipe for Tortellini Primavera on Jenna's blog and immediately put it on the weekly menu. It has everything I love about a pasta dish with minimal effort. But then plans changed and I didn't get around to making it. I still had the ingredients on hand so when I needed a fast dinner for one (SP wasn't that hungry) over the weekend I whipped it up in no time flat.


I subbed the tortellini for cheese ravioli since we have three bags in the freezer (Baby Girl loves her ravioli). This was so simple and delicious I relished every bite.
