This Creamy Lemon Tortellini with Zucchini is on the table in less than 20 minutes - prep time included! This is the perfect weeknight dinner for those days that you need an effortless, delicious family meal in a hurry. The cheese filling in the pasta instantly makes it feel more filling and substantial, it's comforting, and although I've opted for silky zucchini, it can be loaded with any vegetables you like! It is all made in the one pan so clean up is easy, it is suitable to freeze and the sauce is so incredibly delicious and moreish that you will want to make it again and again.
