Creating Creamy Lemon-Dill Tortellini is easy when you follow these clear steps:

1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

3. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

4. Incorporate Lemon: Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained tortellini to the sauce and gently toss to coat the pasta evenly.

6. Add Vegetables (Optional): If using spinach or peas, stir them in at this point. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are warmed through.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
