  • 2 Tablespoons Caraluzzi’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Caraluzzi’s Italian Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • In large stock pot heat olive oil at medium temp.
  • Add onions & carrots cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Add zucchini, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning & pepper flakes and cook for about one minute.
  • Turn up heat, add the vegetable broth, put on lid and bring to a boil.
  • Then reduce heat to low and cook veggies on a low simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the tortellini pasta and kale and cook for 5-10 minutes on low heat.
  • Season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Optional add grated cheese for flavor (we prefer Romano over parmesan for this recipe).

Notes

  • Can substitute the pasta & cheese with vegan options
  • For a little more color, swap 1 green zucchini with a yellow squash
  • For a more authentic Italian recipe, swap the kale with escarole
