Title: One-Pot Tortellini With Meat Sauce
Categories: Pasta, Cheese, Pork
Yield: 4 Servings
4 cl Garlic; peeled
2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tb Tomato paste
1 lb Hot or sweet Italian
- sausage
28 oz Can whole or crushed
- tomatoes
Salt & pepper
1 lb Cheese tortellini; no need
- to thaw
Parmesan; fine grated,
- to serve
4 oz Mozzarella; grated (optional)
Finely grate the garlic into a large Dutch oven or skillet. Add the
olive oil and tomato paste and set over medium-high heat. When it
sizzles, stir until the oil is a rusty red, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the
sausage, breaking it into small pieces. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until the sausage is starting to crisp, 8 to
10 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes. (If using whole tomatoes, break them up with
your spoon.) Season with salt and pepper and scrape up the browned
bits from the bottom of the pot. Simmer over medium until
thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir in the tortellini, cover and cook until tender, 7 to
10 minutes, stirring halfway through and scraping any that might be
stuck to the bottom of the pot. If the sauce looks dry, add 1/4 c
water. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve topped with
Parmesan.
If you'd like a melted-cheese top like a baked pasta, heat the
broiler with a rack in the upper 3rd of the oven. Sprinkle the
tortellini with the mozzarella. Broil until melted and browned in
spots, 2 to 4 minutes.
