  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 (15 oz) cans diced tomatoes do not drain

  • 1 cup frozen carrots and peas
  • 20 oz fresh or frozen tortellini
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

For Garnish

  • grated Parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then sauté the onion, garlic, and celery until softened and fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef, cooking until browned and breaking it into small pieces.
  • Add the zucchini, seasonings, and tomato paste, stirring until well combined.

Notes

  • Tortellini: it keeps absorbing broth as it sits. For leftovers or freezing, cook the tortellini separately or add it when reheating.
