Tortellini with Roasted Pepper Sauce

This Tortellini with Roasted Pepper Sauce is what we call a simple recipe—all you need is some stuffed pasta and a vegetable. But not only is this recipe simple, it's also super tasty!

In this recipe I use tortellini to switch it up from the traditional penne and spaghetti.

Quick tip: If want to remove the skin from your roasted peppers, remove peppers from the oven, put the pepper pieces in a paper  bag, and wait a few minutes. Once the bag fills with steam, you will be able to easily remove the pepper skins with a knife.
