Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb cheese tortellini
1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, sliced into strips
1 (10 ounce) package frozen baby peas, defrosted
2 cups alfredo sauce (I use Nutcracker Sweet Pie (recipe below))
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the minced garlic.
  • Sauté until golden brown.
  • Next add the vegetable stock followed by the heavy cream.
  • Reduce liquid for six or seven minutes.
  • Next add the cornstarch and water mixture.
  • Keep stirring sauce over medium heat until it begins to thicken slightly.
  • Sauce won't be too thick, but will coat the back of a spoon.
  • Next add the Parmesan cheese, parsley, and the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add red pepper strips, and peas to the warmed sauce.
  • Boil tortellini according to package directions.
  • Drain, and toss with sauce, peppers and peas,.
  • I like to cook pasta in sauce over the heat for 1-2 minutes and then serve.
