Step 1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve bell pepper; remove stem and seeds. Place on a baking sheet; drizzle each half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange cut sides down. • Roast on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Step 2

• While bell pepper roasts, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato. Zest and quarter lemon. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or sausage; cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a bowl. Wipe out pan.

Step 3

• Melt 1/2 TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring, 1 minute. • Add tomato; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in cream cheese and 1⁄3 cup water (1/2 cup for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat. Use pan used for chicken or sausage here.

Step 4

• Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and floating to the top, 3-5 minutes. • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Step 5

• Transfer roasted bell pepper to a cutting board; thinly slice. • Heat pan with sauce over medium-low heat. Stir in drained tortelloni, sour cream, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and as much lemon zest and lemon juice as you like. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until cheese melts and pasta is coated, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in bell pepper. If needed, stir in reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until tortelloni is coated in a creamy sauce. Stir sausage into pan along with drained tortelloni.

Step 6

• Divide tortelloni between bowls. Sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Top tortelloni with chicken. Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
