2 Meanwhile, heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and bell pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender.

EXPERT TIPS

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.

The first couple of times I made this it was too watery, and there were way too many beans, they were overwhelming the whole dish. This time I added half the amount of beans but included an extra tablespoon of chili sauce, and the dish turned out much better!
