For an extra layer of flavor, try using roasted red peppers instead of fresh. A splash of white wine added to the sauce during the simmering process can elevate the dish. If you don't have fresh green onion, chives make a wonderful substitute. To prevent the sauce from becoming too thick, add a little pasta water while tossing with the tortellini. Consider adding some grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
