Tortellini Pomodoro

August 30, 2017 by Angela LeMoine Leave a Comment

I have been so lucky to have a good crop of San Marzano tomatoes in the garden. This Tortellini Pomodoro has quickly become a go to meal around here. Its simple to make, fast to throw together and so incredibly fresh and delicious! This is the simple Italian I love!

I truly believe that some of the best dishes are those that are the most simple. If you use really good, fresh ingredients the flavors are just amazing and you can easily throw together an incredible meal. My Tortellini Pomodoro has just a handful of very basic ingredients but wow is it delicious!

There is something rather fabulous about fresh tomatoes… especially from NJ. I mean its not known as the “Jersey Tomato” for nothing. I lucked out with a really great crop of San Marzano tomatoes in my little garden this year and we have enjoyed so many fresh dishes because of it.

All you need for this tortellini is olive oil, garlic, fresh tomatoes, basil and the optional pine nuts. I start by sautéing garlic in some olive oil until fragrant. I then add in diced fresh tomato and season with a little salt and pepper. While that is simmering I pureed fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts and a little olive oil {similar to a pesto} and stirred that into the tomatoes. Toss in al dente tortellini and enjoy! Its that simple!

Ingredients
  • 20 oz package cheese tortellini
  • about 15 san marzano or plum tomatoes, small dice
  • 6 cloves of garlic, divided
  • a large handful of basil
  • 1 tbsp pine nuts {optional}
  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper
Instructions
  1. Get a pot of water up and boiling. Cook the tortellini shy of al dente, drain.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, in a large sauté pan over medium heat, add in enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Add in 3 roughly chopped garlic cloves. Once fragrant go ahead and stir in the tomatoes.
  3. In a blender, puree a couple Tbsp of olive oil, basil, 3 garlic cloves and the pine nuts. Stir into the tomatoes and simmer a few minutes.
  4. Add in the tortellini, toss to coat and cook just a couple minutes until tender.
