Three Cheese Tortellini

My mom had this bag of Tortellini in her pantry... so I decided to try it out. They had a very easy recipe on the back of the bag. It came out very good!



Here it is

"Three Cheese Tortellini w/ Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce" - kinda a long title HAHA

Ingredients:

- One 8 oz bag of Barilla Three Cheese Tortellini (not expensive, should run between 3 and 4 dollars a bag)

- One 7 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained (These actually cost more than the Tortellini! how weird is that. My jar came with enough peppers though for atleast 2-3 batches if not more. This is a hard thing to find.. atleast it was for me. I found mine in the soup area near some jars...)

- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced (1/2 tsp.)

- 1 cup prepared alfredo sauce (the $1.00 SAMS CHOICE from Walmart works great!)

- 2 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped

Directions:

1. Cook Tortellini according to packaged directions.

2. While Tortellini cooks, puree peppers in food processor or blender and set aside (I didnt use a food processor... I just chopped them by hand, less hassle)

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet

4. Add garlic and saute' over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.

5. Stir in pepper puree and alfredo sauce

6. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

9. Combine with drained tortellini and serve.

YUMMMYYY and your done.

I found that one bag of this was enough for 3 people... but no more.
So to make this for a family of 4 or larger I'd use to batches.
