Tortellini in Roasted Red Pepper Sauce image

I made this recipe up for my husband who loves roasted red peppers. You can roast your own peppers if you have a gas stove or you can broil or grill them. When you are short on time, the peppers in a jar work great.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs cheese tortellini, prepackaged (or approximate. the large one plus a small is what I usually use)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion
1 (10 ounce) jar red peppers (or 3 red peppers, roasted and peeled)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried basil or 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with hot water and set to boil on stove/cooktop.
  • Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large deep pan, and dice the onion while the oil heats.
  • Add the onions to the pan and stir occasionally -- at the same time dice the red peppers.
  • When your hot water is at a boil, add the tortellini and set a timer.
  • Add the red peppers, crushed peppers and dried basil to the onions, stir, and let saute gently for 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and basil to the sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it reduce. If you use fresh basil, add it a minute before serving.
  • Drain tortellini well, and put back in the pot and cover. Check the sauce for desired consistency.
  • Add sauce to the tortellini, plate and serve with fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and firm bell peppers. Look for peppers that are brightly colored and heavy for their size. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Roasting the bell peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the peppers in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.
  • Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling. Then, use a sharp knife to remove the stems and seeds.
  • Tortellini is a type of pasta that is typically filled with cheese or meat. You can use any type of tortellini for this recipe, but I recommend using a cheese-filled tortellini.
  • If you don't have tortellini, you can use another type of pasta, such as penne or macaroni.
  • The sauce for this recipe is made with a combination of olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes. You can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as onions, mushrooms, or spinach.
  • To make the sauce, simply heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble the dish, simply combine the roasted bell peppers, tortellini, and sauce in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This simple roasted pepper tortellini is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The roasted bell peppers add a smoky and sweet flavor to the dish, while the tortellini and sauce provide a hearty and filling base. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
