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 into 1/2-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl).
Add onions, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, half the Mediterranean Spice Blend and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) 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 pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain tortellini.
Heat the same large pot over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) and remaining Mediterranean Spice Blend. Swirl the pot until butter is melted and spices are toasted, 1 min. Remove the pot 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. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The pesto and roasted veggies deliver a satisfying combination of flavours, though some reviewers found the overall dish a touch bland without enough sauce.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward weeknight meal; prepping all the vegetables before starting the water boiling helps keep the pace comfortable.
- Suggestions: Add extra pesto and Parmesan to deepen the flavour, and consider pan-frying the vegetables instead of roasting if you prefer a firmer texture. Some reviewers also enjoyed boosting the dish with garlic, chili flakes, or a splash of cream for a richer sauce.
- Leftovers: This dish reheats well and often stretches into a second meal; adding a little extra pesto before reheating helps prevent it from drying out.
- Portions: Portions are generally generous, with several reviewers noting enough left over for lunch the next day.
