Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces Beyond Meat Italian Sausage cut in rounds
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 25-ounce jar marinara sauce
- 9 ounces vegan tortellini I used Kite Hill
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- grated vegan parmesan optional, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned on both sides (approx. 2 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet.
- Add the onion, garlic and dry seasonings to the skillet. Cook down for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
- Add the sausage, tortellini and fresh basil to the sauce and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve hot with vegan parmesan on top.

Notes
- This is a very saucy dish. You could always double the tortellini or make less sauce if you prefer less sauce.
- Sub your favorite vegan sausage if you don't like Beyond Meat. Or leave it out altogether.
- You can add some greens by throwing in some spinach at the end and letting it wilt.
- Can't find Kite Hill tortellini? Trader Joe's also makes a vegan ravioli. You could also sub plain pasta.
