Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the tortellini. Place the peppers in a roasting pan and roast in preheated oven, checking every 15 minutes, and turning them with tongs until the skin is fully wrinkled and charred black. White the peppers are roasting, boil tortellini until al dente, drain, and set aside to cool. Put the charred peppers into a bowl filled with a couple of inches of ice water. Once cooled, you can then use your fingers to work quickly to slip off and discard the skins of the peppers while they are in the water. Transfer them to a plate, peel away any remnants of the charred skins, slice open and remove the stem and seeds, then julienne the peppers and set aside.
- Through the feed opening of a running blender, add scallions, garlic cloves, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of the fresh basil leaves (packed), reserving the rest of the basil. Add the vinegar and blend until a paste is formed, then leaving the blender running, add the olive oil in a slow steady stream allowing the mixture to emulsify. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Julienne the rest of the basil (except for the sprigs for garnish). Toss with the tortellini, julienned red bell peppers, and dressing. Transfer to serving dish and decorate with reserved basil sprigs. Can be served at room temperature or chilled.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, aromatic basil, and creamy feta cheese.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Rotini is a delicate pasta that can easily become overcooked. Cook it according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (firm to the bite).
- Save some of the pasta water. The starchy pasta water can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the dish. It can also be used to make a flavorful vinaigrette.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
- Garnish the dish with fresh basil. Fresh basil will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This rotini with sun-dried tomatoes and basil is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of sweet tomatoes, aromatic basil, and creamy feta cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side salad and a glass of your favorite white wine for a complete meal.
