Cut the zucchini into small cubes. Peel onion & garlic & finely chop. Quarter or halve cherry tomatoes depending on their size. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini for about 2 – 3 minutes, then use a pasta strainer to pour off the water and set tortellini aside covered with a lid.

…for the tortellini stir-fry:




Heat up a large pan adding a dash of oil, add the onions & garlic to the pan & sweat for about 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat until glassy. Next, add the zucchini cubes and gently roast for another 3 – 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
