Ingredients




450 g/ 1 lbs fresh tortellini or 250 g/ 8.8 oz dried ones (see note)
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves
4 red bell peppers
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
200 g/ 7 oz cherry tomatoes
125 ml/ ½ cup vegetable stock
125 g/ 4.2 oz feta
125 g/ 4.2 oz grated cheese (Gouda, Cheddar)
salt and pepper
basil, optional

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 360 degrees Fahrenheit. 2 Cook the pasta according to the packet's instructions. Fresh pasta only needs 1 or 2 minutes, dry pasta a lot longer. Drain well and give the pasta back to the pan. 3 In the meantime chop the onion, the garlic cloves and the bell peppers very finely. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion cubes and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and the peppers and cook about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add the salt, pepper and oregano. 4 Chop the tomatoes and give them to the pan together with the vegetable stock. Let cook for further 5 minutes. 5 Give the cooked sauce to the pasta in the pan, add the crumbled feta and mix well. Adjust the taste with more salt and pepper if necessary. 6 Brush a casserole form with a little bit of olive oil. Give the pasta mixture to the form and sprinkle everything with the grated cheese. 7 Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Garnish with some fresh basil if you like and serve with a green salad.
