How to Make Stuffed Peppers With Tortellini
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook 1/2 cup tortellini according to package directions, leaving them slightly undercooked. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine: 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cut the tops off 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange). Remove seeds and membranes.
- Trim the bottom of the peppers slightly, if needed, to help them stand upright.
- Fill each pepper with the ricotta mixture, packing it in and mounding slightly on top.
- Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. For crispier peppers, bake uncovered for 45 minutes. For more tender peppers, bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- While the peppers are baking, cook 1 1/2 cups tortellini according to package directions.
- Drain the tortellini and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Serve each stuffed pepper in the center of a plate, surrounded by the creamy tortellini. Garnish with extra dill, if desired.
