Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4 pounds of tomato, [1.8 kg] about 6 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano (fresh leaves)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1½ teaspoons salt, (or more, to taste)
  • 1 pound tortellini, [0.45 kg] (with whichever stuffing you prefer)
  • ¼ teaspoons pepper (freshly-cracked, or ground), (or more, to taste)
  • ¼ cup freshly-grated Parmesan, or Pecorino

Preparation

Before starting, please make sure to have all the ingredients and utensils ready, and read the complete post.

Step 1: Heat

Heat olive oil over low heat in a medium-sized pot (3 qt [3 lt]). Stir in tomatoes, oregano, basil, and garlic, cook and stir until the garlic releases its aroma.

Lower heat and simmer covered until the tomatoes are cooked through (about 15 minutes).

Step 2: Press the tomatoes

Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Press the tomatoes using a food mill (Amazon affiliate link) or a fine sieve to separate the "juice" from the solids.

Once you're done, discard the solids.

Step 3: Cook

Return the liquid to a pot and heat it over medium heat. Stir in salt.

Once it breaks the boil, add the tortellini and simmer covered until the tortellini is cooked through (check cook time in the package).

Step 4: Serving

Remove from the heat, season with pepper to taste. Sprinkle with cheese after serving.

Top tips

For a vegan version, choose egg-free pasta with a vegan filling, and don't add the cheese.
