📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook tortellini just to al dente according to directions listed on package. Meanwhile line an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2
Drain tortellini and spread onto prepared baking sheet to cool completely, about ⏱️ 20 minutes (while the tortellini cooks and cools it's a good time to cook bacon and roast the bell pepper if you haven't already).
3
For the dressing whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
