Ingredients:

1     pound         good-quality frozen cheese tortellini,
                    vegetable-filled tortellini, or
                    tofu tortellini
1     cup           frozen green peas
2     cups          finely-chopped fresh broccoli florets
1     jar           roasted red peppers - (10 to 12 oz)
                    === DRESSING ===
                    Liquid from the roasted peppers
2     tablespoons   olive oil
                    = (preferably extra-virgin)
2     tablespoons   red-wine vinegar
2     teaspoons     Dijon-style mustard
1/4   cup           grated fresh organic Parmesan cheese
                    = (or Parmesan-style soy cheese)

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Begin cooking the tortellini according to package directions.
Layer the frozen peas and the broccoli florets in a large saucepan with l/2 inch of water. Bring them to a simmer and steam over moderate heat, covered, until the peas are thawed and the broccoli is bright green, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the peas and broccoli and rinse them under cool water until they are at room temperature.
In the meantime, drain the roasted peppers, reserving the juices in a small mixing bowl. Cut the peppers into strips. Combine the liquid from the red peppers with the remaining dressing ingredients and mix.
When the tortellini are done, drain them and rinse under cool water until they are at room temperature. Combine them in a mixing bowl with the peas, broccoli, red pepper strips, and dressing. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
