  3. Add the remaining stock and bring to a boil. Add the tortellini and peas, then stir in the kale pesto. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season to taste. Serve with extra Parmesan.

Note:
Vegetarian cheese can be used as an alternative to Parmesan, if you wish.
Vegetable stock can be used as an alternative to Chicken stock, if you wish.
