This is a shortcut version of a rich, creamy pasta dish I enjoyed on a vacation trip, shares Mickie Taft of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's versatile, too-serve it as an awesome meatless entree or a special side dish. Ingredients:
1 package (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini |
1/2 cup julienned sweet red pepper |
1/2 cup butter |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup ground walnuts |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil |
1 tablespoon chopped green onion or chives |
Directions:
1. Prepare tortellini according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute red pepper in butter until pepper is crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in cream; cook for 8-10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
3. Add the walnuts, basil and onion; heat through. Drain tortellini; add to sauce and toss to coat. Yield: 4 servings.
