A quick any night dinner fix when you are short on time and don't know what to make - from June 2009 TOH's Simple and Delicious. CAN be adjusted to suit your tastes and what's in the fridge/pantry! Recipe calls for frozen peppr strips, thawed. I have never used those so I modified it to use fresh peppers quickly sauteed. **Also think red pepper flakes would be good in this - asparagus. Haven't made dish yet, will update as I do. Ingredients:
19 ounces cheese tortellini, frozen |
1 cup bell pepper, cut into strips assorted colors as desired (red, green, orange, yellow) |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 1/4 cups cooked ham, cubed and fully cooked (i like the farmland cooked, cubed) |
1 teaspoon garlic, minced |
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated and divided |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions while sauteeing pepper strips in butter until crisp-tender using a large skillet.
2. Add Ham and garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
3. Combine the cornstarch, broth, basil, parsley and pepper and stir into the pepper strip mixture in skillet.
4. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes (or until thickened) stirring.
5. Add 2 TBSP cheese; drain tortellini and toss with the ham mixture.
6. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and ENJOY!
