Tortellini And Ham

---

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.
