Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons. Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/2-inch pieces.Prick tomatoes with a fork.
Add onions, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, half the Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven until veggies soften, 12-14 min.
Meanwhile, add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Reserve 1/4 cup (3/4 cup) pasta water, then drain tortellini.Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
Heat the same large pot over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend. Swirl the pot until butter is melted and spices are toasted, 1 min. Remove from heat. Add tortellini, pesto, roasted veggies, half the Parmesan and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir gently, until well-combined.
Divide tortellini between bowls. Top with chicken.Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
