Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Any color of bell pepper can be used. Why not try a combination of red, yellow and green?
  • tip 2
    If you have fresh basil in your garden, go ahead and substitute it for the parsley.
  • tip 3
    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.
