Achieve the perfect balance between pasta, sauce and vegetables. Stuffed with three kinds of cheese, our fresh tortellini are a cinch to boil up to pleasantly soft and chewy. You’ll be adding these tasty little packages to a swirl of demi-glace, cream and butter. That gives you super sauce, but with nutritional yeast and sun-dried tomato pesto it becomes super-powered! Lots of wilted kale and green peas keep each portion hopping and popping.

Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the kale and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until wilted. Add the demi-glace, cream, ⅓ cup of the reserved cooking water (double for 4 portions), the spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly thickened.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, pesto, nutritional yeast, peas and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the pasta is coated and combined; season with S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.

Divide the pasta between your bowls. Bon appétit!
