SPINACH & RICOTTA TORTELLONI WITH DATTERINI, MINT & OLIVES

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pack Rana Spinach & Ricotta Tortelloni
  • 300 gr plump datterini tomatoes
  • 20 taggiasche olives
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tbsp marjoram leaves
  • 3 sprigs fresh mint
  • 0.3 tbsp dried chilli, for crumbling
  • Salt and pepper

METHOD

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.

Pierce 300g of the datterini tomatoes with a small sharp knife to allow the juices to run out during the cooking and intensify the flavour of the sauce.

Place in a bowl and add 1 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and ½ tbsp marjoram leaves. Toss together to coat the tomatoes and place in a baking tray. Roast in the middle shelf of the oven until soft and tender.

Remove from the oven and spoon the tomatoes and the cooking juices into a shallow saucepan. Place over a medium heat and add 2 garlic cloves, 20 olives and 1/3 tbsp dried chilli.

Cook gently for 5 mins just to allow the flavours to marry. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Finely chop the leaves from 3 sprigs of mint, stir through and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook tortelloni for 2 minutes.

Drain delicately with a skimmer and place tortelloni in the saucepan, adding 2 tbsp of pasta cooking liquid.
