Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cheese ravioli
- 250 grams Cheese tortellini
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 large Roasted red peppers
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese ravioli and tortellini according to the package instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes for fresh or 8-10 minutes for frozen). Drain and set aside, tossing lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pea and red pepper sauce. Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn them.
Add the frozen peas and 1 cup of water to the saucepan. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the peas are tender but still vibrant green.
Transfer the peas and cooking liquid to a blender or food processor. Add the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Return the sauce to the pan and warm over low heat for 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Plate the cooked ravioli and tortellini, and generously spoon the pea red pepper sauce over the top.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, freshly chopped basil, or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful dish.
