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

Serving Ideas : Crusty sour dough bread.

NOTES : Quite colorful. Even more so if you include blossoms from the
squash and some nasturtium flowers. If using, slice blossoms
thinly crosswise. Add the blossoms to the skillet when you add the
vegetable broth. Here are some stuffing ideas for the tortillini:
walnuts, cheese, carrot, spinach, herb, pesto; alone or in
combination.
