Make this easy creamy tomato pasta sauce for your stuffed pasta like tortelloni or tortellini in a matter of minutes. Minimal ingredients well put together can create loads of flavour!
This tortellini sauce is a combination of cream and tomatoes with a touch of aged cheese. Hard Italian cheese like Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano), Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano or Asiago could be added.
Instead of using straight up tomatoes I went with sun-dried tomato pesto. So much flavour was already built into that condiment, so why not use it for a quick sauce with a killer taste! It’s a little kitchen hack I like using when I need flavours fast!
Finally, I’ve thrown a handful of fresh spinach for a vibrant and healthy touch of green. You can use any vegetables you love. Asparagus, kale or tenderstem broccoli (broccolini) all sound like a great choice to me. You will want to parboil the asparagus and broccoli before adding to the sauce. It all goes well in this tortellini recipe!
