Mother's Day is day set aside to let mom, step-mom, grandma or any one you want to let know how much you appreciate their love and guidance.

Barilla's executive chef Lorenzo Boni shows Liv and Belle a quick and easy recipe that will make Mom feel really special.

We chose Barilla Tortellini because they have no preservatives and their taste is authentically Italian.

{Makes 4-6 servings}

You'll need:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion - finely diced

  • 1 yellow sweet pepper - diced
  • 1 red sweet pepper - diced
  • 1 package of Barilla Three-Cheese Tortellini

      2. When the water comes to a boil, add the package of Barilla Tortellini. Give the pot a stir.
