Ingredients:


2 medium sliced green onions -- with tops

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves -- minced

1 teaspoon fresh savory -- minced

1 teaspoon fresh parsley -- minced

1 teaspoon fresh chives -- minced

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon salt and pepper -- freshly ground

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1/2 cup boiling water

1 pound tortellini pasta

1 package your choice of stuffing

8 medium baby scallop squash

8 medium baby zucchini squash

1/3 cup vegetable broth
 

Preparation / Directions:


Toss scallions, thyme, savory, parsley, garlic, chives, salt, pepper and olive oil. Let stand 30 minutes. Soften the (sun- or oven-) dried tomatoes by covering them with boiling water and letting sit for 2 minutes. Drain, slice thinly crosswise, and set aside. Cook tortellini in a large pot of boiling water until they rise to the surface. Drain and toss with half of the herb mixture. Keep warm. Slice the squash thinly crosswise. In a nonstick skillet, heat the other half of the herb mixture over medium heat and cook the tomatoes and squash for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broth and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Toss the vegetables with the pasta and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh nasturtium flowers and leaves (well cleaned).
