spinach cheese tortellini with roasted tomatoes
Serves 4
Half the work is done for you by the nice folks who make delicious fresh tortellini available at most supermarkets. When tortellini is on sale, I buy several packages and freeze them. Lately I’ve been using jarred minced garlic to save time. I highly recommend it.
2 lb plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp finely minced garlic
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp brown sugar
Sea salt and pepper to taste
1 package spinach cheese tortellini
1. Preheat oven to 400˚F.
2. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place tomato halves, cut side up, on baking sheet.
3. Mix oil with garlic, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt and pepper. Spoon over tomatoes. Roast tomatoes until soft and browned, about 50 to 60 minutes.
4. Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Drain. Place tortellini in large pasta bowl.
5. Place tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Mash with fork. Spoon over tortellini.
Serve with garlic bread and a mixed green salad garnished with black olives.
Serve with a rustic Chianti Classico.
