Method
- Preheat the grill of the oven to high. Bring a large pan of slightly salted water to the boil. Add the tortelloni and cook for 3 mins. Drain and set aside. They will be slightly undercooked but will continue to cook under the grill.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, lidded frying pan. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins until starting to soften, then add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Add the passata, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 mins. Stir through the spinach and cook for another 1-2 mins until wilted. Stir through most of the basil and add the tortelloni and olives to the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Pour the tortelloni mixture into a baking dish and scatter with the torn mozzarella. Place under the grill for 3-5 mins until golden and bubbling. Scatter over the remaining basil.
- Toss the crunchy salad in the remaining olive oil and season. Serve the tortelloni bake with the salad on the side.
