Tortellini with Soy

To prepare a delicious and comforting meal, we start by boiling the tortellini. They are an excellent choice, having a rich flavor and a pleasant texture. In a large pot, we bring water to a boil, adding a teaspoon of salt to enhance the pasta's flavor. When the water starts to boil, we add the tortellini and let them cook according to the package instructions, usually between 3 to 5 minutes, until they become al dente. Once they are ready, we drain them and set them aside.

Meanwhile, we take care of preparing a delicious sauce that will envelop the tortellini in an explosion of flavors. In a large skillet, we add a tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil becomes hot, we add a finely chopped onion. This will add a sweet and aromatic base to our sauce. We sauté the onion for a few minutes until it becomes translucent and starts to brown.

Next, we add a few bell peppers, diced into small cubes, which will provide an extra splash of color and texture. Let's not forget the garlic! We finely chop 2-3 cloves of garlic and add them to the skillet, letting them brown slightly, just until they release their aroma. Now it's time to add the olives – whether they are green or black, sliced, they will bring a salty and savory taste to our sauce.

Next, we add the canned tomatoes, which will add a tangy note and a velvety texture. We mix the ingredients well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine harmoniously. We season the sauce with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a hint of dried basil or oregano for an extra touch of flavor.

Once the sauce is ready, it's time to bring everything together. In a large bowl, we combine the cooked tortellini with the flavorful sauce, gently mixing to ensure that each piece of pasta is well coated. Finally, we generously sprinkle fresh parsley, finely chopped, which will add a note of freshness and an attractive appearance to our dish.

We serve the tortellini with the sauce and garnish the plate with a few parsley leaves. This combination of flavors and textures will turn any meal into a true culinary celebration!
