Creamy Pesto Tortellini with Green Beans

Bring 3 quarts water to boil in a large pot.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet, then add the red onions and green beans. Sauté until crisp-tender, then add the tomatoes and stir until slightly softened. Add the salt and pepper (if using).

When the veggies are done to your liking, stir in the pesto and Laughing Cow cheese. Turn heat very low and stir until the cheese melts. Splash in some of the hot pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce if it’s too thick. (I wound up using about 3/4 cup of pasta water before the sauce was at the proper consistency).

When the cheese is melted and the sauce is where you want it, dump in the cooked tortellini and enjoy!

Sass things up with some crushed red pepper if you like. (I know I do!)
