Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, core then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Thinly slice chives.
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then the peppers and sausage.
- Cook, breaking up sausage and stirring often until sausage is cooked through, 4-6 min**.
- Meanwhile, add tortellini to the boiling water.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min.
- Reserve 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) pasta water, then drain.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Blend over peppers and sausage. Cook, stirring constantly, until peppers are coated, 30 sec.
- Add crushed tomatoes, garlic, roasted pepper pesto, cream and half the chives. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add tortellini and reserved pasta water to the pan with sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper, then gently toss to combine. (NOTE: If you do not have an oven-proof pan, transfer mixture to a lightly-oiled, 8x8-inch [9x13-inch] baking dish.)
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over tortellini.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese is golden-brown, 5-6 min.
- Allow tortellini to cool for 2-3 min before serving.
- Divide tortellini between plates.
- Sprinkle remaining chives over top.
If you've opted to add sausage, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then sausage and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up sausage and stirring often, until sausage is cooked through, 4-6 min.**
Si vous avez ajouté la saucisse, chauffer une grande poêle allant au four à feu moyen-élevé. Ajouter 2 c. à soupe (4 c. à soupe) de beurre, puis la saucisse et les poivrons. Saler et poivrer. Cuire de 4 à 6 min, en défaisant la saucisse en morceaux et en remuant souvent, jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit entièrement cuite**.
