Expert Tips

Any color of bell pepper can be used. Why not try a combination of red, yellow and green?

If you have fresh basil in your garden, go ahead and substitute it for the parsley.

Spoon the tortellini mixture into a shallow serving bowl, and sprinkle with a little shredded Parmesan cheese before adding the parsley. Then add a couple of fresh parsley sprigs to the side of the dish.

I have been searching for something quick and healthy but not too heavy and this was perfect! Even moreso because my husband made it for us :-) Kids would want a thicker sauce but if you are being health conscious, I really think this is a definite keeper. Looking forward to sharing this recipe.
