Tortellini Alfredo With Roasted Red Peppers And Baby Peas

---

This is a fun pasta dish using my recipe for all-purpose alfredo sauce-#98926 as the base. You can easily substitute your favorite jarred alfredo suace if you are pressed for time

---

Steps

---

In a large saucepan , melt the butter and add the minced garlic.

---

Saut until golden brown.

---

Next add the vegetable stock followed by the heavy cream.

---

Reduce liquid for six or seven minutes.

---

Next add the cornstarch and water mixture.

---

Keep stirring sauce over medium heat until it begins to thicken slightly.

---

Sauce wont be too thick , but will coat the back of a spoon.

---

Next add the parmesan cheese , parsley , and the salt and pepper to taste.

---

Add red pepper strips , and peas to the warmed sauce.

---

Boil tortellini according to package directions.

---

Drain , and toss with sauce , peppers and peas ,.

---

I like to cook pasta in sauce over the heat for 1-2 minutes and then serve.
