1
Cook the Tortellini
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables
While the tortellini is cooking, slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Prepare the Roasted Red Peppers
If using jarred roasted red peppers, drain and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
