Tortellini en Brodo

I may adapt this recipe to make it meat free.  Lent is coming and I will need some lunch possibilities for Fridays.  I may also look for some fresh snow peas to take the place of the frozen ones. 

1 32oz. carton low sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
2 2 1/2 inch strips, lemon zest
1 9oz. package refrigerated three cheese tortellini
1 1/2 C. frozen baby peas
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. minced fresh flat leaf parsley

Bring broth and lemon zest to a boil in a large sauce pan over medium high heat.  Stir in tortellini, cover and return to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes.  Stir in peas, salt and pepper; simmer, uncovered until tortellini is tender and peas are hated through, about 2 minutes.  Discard lemon zest.  Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and parsley.
