Preparation
Step 1
To make tortellini, combine the goat cheese and 3 tablespoons Jack cheese in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together with a fork until smooth. Stir in mixed herbs. Lay the pot-sticker wrappers out on a cutting board and, using a pastry bag or a teaspoon, place 1 tablespoon goat-cheese filling in the center of each wrapper. Working one at a time, brush the perimeter of the wrappers with the egg and fold over, pinching the ends, to form a half-moon. With the rounded side of the half-moon facing you, wet the corner with a little of the egg and pinch the corners together to form a tortellini.
Makes about 14 to 18 tortellini.
Next, bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the tortellini and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup pasta water and set aside. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high. Add the olive oil, zucchini, squash and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook a few minutes until softened. Add the tortellini and basil and about half of the remaining Monterey Jack along with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Bring to a boil, whisk in the butter and transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
