Ingredients:
- 300g ready-made tortellini
- 2-3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 small bunch of parsley or basil
- 100g water
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- 4 tablespoons olive oil for the sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for the tortellini
Instructions:
For the Tortellini:
- Fill a pot with water, add salt, and bring it to a boil.
- Once the water boils, add the tortellini and cook for about 20 minutes, or until they reach your desired tenderness.
- Drain the tortellini using a colander and place them back in the pot.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, pour it over the tortellini, and toss gently to coat.
For the Tomato Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for another minute with the onion and garlic.
- Stir in the water and a pinch of salt. Let the sauce simmer until most of the liquid evaporates and it thickens.
