  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. When the water is boiling, stir in the tortellini and bring it back to a boil. Cook until the pasta rises to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes; drain.

  2. 2

    Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir the meatballs, pineapple chunks, and hoisin sauce until the meatballs are heated through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the meatball mixture to a bowl and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in the same skillet until it begins to shimmer.

  4. 4

    Add the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, zucchini, celery, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Cook and stir until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir the tortellini and meatball mixture into the vegetables until hot. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
