This Roasted Red Pepper Swirl Tortellini in Creamy One Pan Sauce is a comforting and flavorful weeknight dinner. It combines store-bought or homemade tortellini with a vibrant, easy-to-make sauce, minimizing cleanup with a one-pan cooking method.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 250g (9oz) Cheese Tortellini, store-bought or homemade
  • 400ml (1 ¾ cup) Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 120ml (½ cup) Heavy Cream
  • 100g (3½oz) Roasted Red Pepper Purée, no added sugars
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Smoked Paprika
  • 70g (2½oz) Small Onion, finely diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 30g (2 Tbsp) Unsalted Butter
  • 30g (¼ cup) Grated Parmesan Cheese, halal-certified if needed
  • ½ tsp (2.5ml) Sea Salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp (1ml) Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 30g (¼ cup) Toasted Hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp (8g) Fresh Parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil, sauté onion until translucent (3-4 minutes), then add garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
  2. Cook Tortellini: Add broth and tortellini, bring to a boil, and cook until *al dente* (4-5 minutes).
  3. Create Red Pepper Swirl: Reduce heat, stir in cream, red pepper purée, and paprika; simmer (2-3 minutes).
  4. Emulsify Sauce: Mix in butter and Parmesan, stirring until melted and incorporated.
  5. Season: Season with salt and pepper, adjust to taste.
  6. Toast Hazelnuts: Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet until fragrant and golden brown (2-3 minutes). Chop coarsely.
  7. Plate & Garnish: Spoon sauce, arrange tortellini, drizzle with sauce, sprinkle with hazelnuts and parsley.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. Roasting your own red peppers yields the most vibrant flavor.
