Cheesesteak Tortellini pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables. The crispness of a salad with a tangy vinaigrette will balance out the richness of the creamy sauce.

With limited trips to the grocery store, Bottura uses ingredients at hand to make green vegetable curry, tortellini in cream sauce, guacamole, risotto with asparagus and peas, pasta with tomato ...

Season with the bay leaf, soy sauce and pepper ... Bring to the boil again, add the peas and the tortellini and cook for 2-3 minutes or until done. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

The base of this green tortellini soup is prepared ... with different veggies (think peas, cabbage or winter squash) or another type of canned bean, like creamy cannellini beans or even chickpeas.
