Tortellini with sauteed green peas and beans

For this recipe you can use shop-bought or home-made tortellini, with stuffing of your choice. I used vegan, “no chorizo” filling that had sundried tomatoes, smoked paprika and red chilli in it. I served these tortellini with sautéed green peas and beans - but you could use other vegetables too.
