How to Make Ravioli Tortellini With A Pea Red Pepper Sauce

  1. **Make the Pea Purée:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup vegetable broth, 1/2 cup frozen peas, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1/4 cup chopped onion, and 1 minced garlic clove.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  5. **Cook the Vegetables:** In the same saucepan, add the remaining 1/2 cup frozen peas and 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper. Add enough water to just cover the vegetables.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes, or until the peas are heated through and the peppers are tender-crisp.
  7. Drain the peas and peppers, then return them to the saucepan.
  8. Stir in the pea purée and heat through.
  9. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  10. **Cook the Pasta:** While the sauce is simmering, cook the ravioli or tortellini according to package directions until al dente.
  11. Drain the pasta and add it to the saucepan with the pea and pepper sauce.
  12. Toss gently to combine.
  13. **Serve:** Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
  14. Enjoy! This delicious sauce is also wonderful over grilled chicken or a baked potato.
