Butternut squash tortelloni with beans
Background
This butternut squash tortelloni paired with beans are served in a rich butternut and tomato sauce. I used ready-to-cook, plant-based butternut squash and sage tortelloni, but you can easily make your own if you prefer. If broad beans aren’t your favourite, try swapping them for green peas, green beans, kale or spinach. For a vegetarian twist, opt for ricotta-filled tortelloni and/or finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 celery stick
- 2 sage leaves
- 1 carrot
- ½ red pepper
- ½ butternut squash or pumpkin
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 300 ml vegetable stock (approx.)
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 pack (250g) butternut squash & sage tortelloni (vegan, if required)
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, pepper and sage leaves. Peel, then dice the squash.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat, then add the onion and gently fry for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the rest of the chopped vegetables and sage, and gently sauté for 10 minutes under cover, stirring occasionally.
- Add the tomato purée, stir to coat the veggies well, then add the tinned tomatoes and stock.
- Bring to a boil, then gently simmer for 20 minutes, under cover, until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the parsley and turn off the heat.
- Using a stick blender, process the stew until get a thick, smooth sauce. Add more stock if it’s too thick or you prefer it a bit thinner.
- Add the beans and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the tortelloni pieces according to the packet instructions. This should take a couple of minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer them to a bowl.
- Serve the sauce and beans in soup bowls, then divide tortelloni pieces between them.
- Garnish with herbs and/or grated (vegan or not) Parmesan.
- Serve immediately.
