As usual - amounts are approximate as I just throw stuff together. This is one of Jaime's favorite things, except we usually put it on spaghetti; but based on something Tif said to me the other day I decided to go with a different pasta. I was looking for something whole wheat and saw fresh whole wheat three cheese tortellini and it worked out great.
- 1/2 white onion, julienne
- 1/2 green bell pepper and 1/2 red bell pepper, julienne
- one stalk celery sliced thin
- Small "stalk" of broccoli, flowers chopped a few time snd stalk sliced thin
- 5 cloves of garlic sliced thin
- 1/2 cup snap peas diced
- 5 mushrooms sliced - each one about 4 slices
- 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast; sliced thin and about 1 inch long
- olive oil
- 1/2 tomato diced
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1 tbs basil
- 1 package tortellini
- Boil water for the tortellini and add the pasta once the water is boiling, cooking according to directions while cooking the veggies - then drain until ready to add to sauce.
- Turn electric skillet onto 350, add a few tablespoons of oil and heat.
- Start preping veggies and add them as you prep them; stirring them in the oil as you add each one.
- Add herbs and garlic
- Add the chicken and stir-fry with the tomatoes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Just before done add in the tomato paste and thoroughly mix until combined.
- When ready to server add in the pasta, combine and put into a large pasta dish for family style serving.
