1 lb Cheese Tortellini
2 Red Peppers--Roasted (If you don't want to roast the peppers, you can buy a small jar of roasted red peppers)
Fresh Chopped Parsley
16 Ounces Heavy Cream
2 Table Spoons Butter
1/4 Cup Plain Red Tomato Sauce
Salt & Black Pepper
1/3 Cup Freshly Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Roast the red peppers until the skin looks burnt. Place peppers in a small paper bag, and close the bag. (I use my BBQ to roast the peppers, but you can also use your stove top if it is a gas stove)
Keep Peppers in the bag for 10 minutes.
Peel the skin off the peppers
Take a small bowl, and pull the middle of the pepper out and discard the middle. Strip the rest of the peppers into strips, and set aside.
Boil a pot of water and cook the tortellini
The Sauce:
In a medium pot over low-medium heat combine;
1. Butter
2. Heavy Cream
Once the butter melts, add;
1. Tomato Sauce
2. Red Peppers with the juice from the bowl
3. Parsley
4. Salt & Pepper to taste
Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Mix the Tortellini with the sauce, and add the grated cheese. Mix well and serve
I grew up in an Italian household, and learned how to cook from my mom. I took a lot of what she taught me and incorporated it into things that I enjoy. Feel free to use any of these recipes, and leave some feedback if you do. I don't necessarily measure everthing out, as I cook to taste most of the time. The one ingredient that every recipe should have is Love! If you don't cook with Love, your food will not come out right. I suggest a big helping of Love in every recipe!
