It may be the middle of August, but I know a lot of us are already getting back to school, or at least getting ready for it. It’s that time of year that goes from zero to sixty in four and a half seconds. So many birthday parties, sports try-outs, after school activities and social functions on the weekends. So 20 minute dinners like this Cheese Tortellini and Veggies are a life saver!

One of my favorite August events is the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival at Shelburne Farms in Shelburne. Filippo Berio asked me if I was interested in going and of course I said yes! What’s not to love about spending the afternoon strolling around on the shores of Lake Champlain, sipping craft-made beverages and trying the latest gourmet foods.

Filippo Berio was set up under the big tent with ambassadors helping folks take their Pestonality quiz- that’s how festival-goers got to find out which pesto best fits their personality. We all got to sample their pestos too. It’s hard to choose a favorite. I love the black olive one I used for these Cucumber Party Bites, but  I also love the Sun Dried Tomato Pesto I used in this 20 Minute Cheese Tortellini and Veggies recipe. It has so much savory flavor!

How to Make 20 Minute Cheese Tortellini and Veggies

• I used green beans and summer squash (zucchini would work too) to add lots of bulk for nutrition, fiber and lower calories per serving than straight tortellini would have.
• It’s simple to make, simply put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
• Meanwhile make the veggie saute- cook some onions in a skillet. Add in the green beans and squash. And cook until they’re all tender.
• Then toss everything together with the Filippo Berio Sun Dried Tomato Pesto and chopped fresh basil for a super fast weeknight meal bursting with summer veggies!
