A quick and easy Hello Fresh recipe, this got a "super favourite" ranking from Alex. The recipe lists shrimp as an optional inclusion, cooked with the peppers; I think chicken or perhaps ham would also be tasty, if more protein is desired.

Creamy Rosé Tortellini with Bell Peppers

Hello Fresh

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp butter (or 2 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp olive oil)
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large bell peppers, roasted and chopped into ~1cm pieces
• 2 tbsp flour
• 400mL crushed tomatoes
• 240mL heavy cream
• 1 bunch chives, finely chopped

Directions

1. Heat butter (and oil, if using) in a large, oven-safe skillet or pot over medium heat.
2. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
3. Add peppers and cook until heated through and softened, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add flour and stir until peppers are coated.
5. Add tomatoes, cream, and chives. Simmer, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning as needed.

7. Add pasta to sauce. Gently stir to combine.
8. Cover with cheese.
