Cheese Tortellini with Sautéed Vegetables
1 pkg fresh cheese tortellini (I like the Buitoni brand)
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
2 tbsp butter
½ yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 pkg baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup dry white wine
Fresh basil, roughly chopped
Parmesan
Salt & pepper
Cook tortellini pasta in salted water. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet and add onion and garlic. When the onion begins to caramelize, add bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Season with salt. When the peppers begin to soften, about 3-5 mins, add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for another 5 mins and then add wine. Let simmer until liquid has reduced by half. Add tortellini into skillet and fold in basil, Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste.
