Roasted Red Pepper and Tortellini Bake

Cut peppers into quarters (or smaller) and place on a cookie sheet.

Broil about 6-8 minutes until roasted, then rotate peppers and broil again, continuing until all sides are well-roasted.

[Alternatively, you can grill these peppers to reduce the heating up of your kitchen in the summer months.]

Meanwhile, cook tortellini according to package directions.

Then, place roasted peppers in a large bowl and combine with sugar and salt. Toss to coat.

Cover the bottom of a 9×13 glass baking dish with 1 C spaghetti sauce.

Layer with cooked tortellini, pepper mix, spaghetti sauce and top with cheese.

Cover with tinfoil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Then, uncover and bake 15-20 minutes longer, or until heated through. At this point, you can top with additional shredded cheese, if desired.

Serves 6-8 people.
