Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray for the baking dish
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic grated on a rasp
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • 6-8 mini bell peppers halved and seeded
  • 1 package refrigerated cheese tortellini one 20-ounce package (6 cups)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 8 ounces feta one 8-ounce block, sliced into about 8 pieces
  • 4-6 fresh basil leaves torn

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some cooking spray, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and peppers and toss to coat.
  4. Add the tortellini and chicken stock to the baking dish. Place the feta on top of the tortellini. Add the cherry tomatoes and peppers, along with any liquid in the bowl.
  5. Bake until the tomatoes and peppers are soft and starting to brown, about 35 minutes.
  6. Top with torn basil leaves and serve warm.
