It’s been a while since I have posted a Meatless Monday meal and this recipe actually started out to have grilled chicken in it, but due to an error on my part (forgot to thaw the chicken out) I changed gears.  That being said, if you’re not into meatless meals, add some grilled chicken!

Roasting vegetables is my favorite way of cooking them as the flavors seem to pop whether you roast them in the oven or on the grill.  This meal takes no time to cook even with the chopping of the vegetables.  Feel free to use store-bought pesto or make your own.  I used store-bought and love this brand.  The tortellini is a cinch to cook as it is frozen and takes a couple of minutes to be done.  Once the vegetables and the pasta are cooked, it is just a matter of tossing the pesto in and dinner is served!
