CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES
This simple and delicious pasta dish is adapted from Vegetarian Times magazine. One thing I didn't change was the onion powder - I rarely cook with it, and I didn't substitute it here only because I was out of fresh onions. I am glad I didn't, since I think this is one case where the dry powder really works better. It blends with and thickens the olive oil to make a sauce with great flavor. I served this with a tossed salad and some warm French bread with dipping oil and it was a quick and wonderful meal.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the tortellini. Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked tortellini will be mushy and bland.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing and they will not brown properly.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the dish is flavorful but not overpowering.
- Serve the dish immediately. Tortellini is best served hot, right out of the pan.

This cheese tortellini with broccoli, tomatoes, and garlic is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
