Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Toss the crunchy salad in the remaining olive oil and season. Serve the tortelloni bake with the salad on the side.
