I came up with this easy time-saver when I was trying to expand my picky son's palatte, and he still loves it. I've also served it to my non meat eating niece, who kept picking out the red peppers and she loved it as well.

TORTELLINI IN ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE
I made this recipe up for my husband who loves roasted red peppers. You can roast your own peppers if you have a gas stove or you can broil or grill them. When you are short on time, the peppers in a jar work great.
