==========================================
INGREDIENTS:
2 cans Italian peeled tomatoes
Any fresh egg pasta, I used spinach and ricotta tortellini pasta
2 cloves of garlic
Oregano
Fresh bunch of basil
Grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, EVOO
Salt & Pepper
METHOD:
1) Add the peeled tomatoes to a bowl and blend briefly using a hand blender. Pulse quickly so the texture stays slightly chunky and not too runny, then set aside.
2) Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and pour in a generous amount of EVOO. Crush the garlic directly into the pan and let it cook gently for about 30 seconds until fragrant, adding a small splash of water (if necessary) to prevent burning.
3) Pour the blended tomatoes into the pan and stir well. Add dried oregano to your taste and allow the sauce to simmer gently while you cook the pasta.
4) Bring a large pot of water to a boil then add 1 tablespoon of sea salt and let it dissolve. Drop in the tortellini and cook for about 3 minutes, or until al dente.
5) Turn off the heat under the sauce then tear the basil leaves with your hands, adding them to the pan. Stir gently to combine.
6) Using a strainer, transfer the cooked tortellini directly into the sauce. Gently coat each piece so it is evenly covered and move the pan back and forth to help the sauce wrap around the pasta. When making a stuffed pasta like this, avoid aggressive tossing to keep the tortellini intact. You might choose to toss if you use a different pasta shape.
HOW TO SERVE:
Using tongs or even a deep spoon, gently place the tortellini on top of the sauce, arranging them neatly. Be creative with your presentation and let the pasta sit proudly instead of piling it up.
Shower the pasta with freshly grated Pecorino Romano so it melts slightly into the warmth.
Finally, tear fresh basil leaves with your hands and scatter them over the top.
Serve immediately while everything is glossy, hot, and irresistibly fragrant.

It looks very good your dish Vincenzo. Good work once again!
Looks very good I should make this today
I have always bought only whole peeled tinned tomatoes instead of diced or crushed after watching your previous videos on what those other tinned tomatoes contain. I also feel that if you are not growing your own tomatoes and relying on major store 'fresh' tomatoes to make passata you are already behind. This recipe looks so delicious, thank you Vincenzo . BTW, I have a SA Shiraz in hand .
A good quality tortellini doesn’t need much to make it a meal, and is so quick to make. That looks delicious👍😊
Will it make me feel lazy after eating?
Damn, another recipe for me ! TX Vincenzo !
By the way, U wrote yesterday in the J. Makinson reaction video: "the pan was definitely the last time I used it and never used a teflon pan ever again hahahaha"
😋🤔🙃
Thank you for giving us these amazing recipies vincenzo, I recently started trying out new cuisines, italian being one of them, and I am glad you keep these recipies authentic for us to have an authentic experience.
I dont know if this will help anyone but when you cant find canned italian tomatoes in your country (like in india here where its rare) I use fresh tomatoes which are sweet all year round due to climate here, just blanch them to peel and deseed them. Its not the perfect experience but its pretty close.
GARLIC! LOL
I would put mushrooms, even rice.
it's impossible to not love our Italian cuisine
Thank you Vincenzo!
Now I know what to have for dinner tonight 🙂
Thank you Chef
Who needs Uber eats when you have Vincenzo.
You shouldn't use metal utensils in a non stick pan
This is the only thing I want to eat today! It looks so delicious. 😀
@vincenzo Im going to Catania in a week. Any food tips?
