Ingredients
  

Tortellini and Extras:

  • 400 g tortellini
  • 1 handful of roasted cashews
  • 1 handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese shaved

For Roasted Veggies:

  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 3 red onions quartered
  • 100 g cherry tomatoes whole
  • 2 carrots cut into sticks
  • 1 head of garlic peeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

For the Dressing:

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Slice the bell peppers into strips, quarter the red onions, and cut the carrot into sticks.
  • Place the bell peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, and peeled garlic on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Toss the vegetables directly on the baking sheet to coat them evenly.
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly charred, turning halfway through.
  • While the veggies are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes if fresh, 8-10 minutes if frozen).
  • Drain the tortellini and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini with the roasted veggies, roasted cashews, torn basil leaves, and shaved Parmesan.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and toss gently until everything is well-coated.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired.
