Ingredients
- 500 gram Pasta tortellini - I used spinach and ricotta
- 1 handful Fresh spinach
- 1 ball Buffalo Mozzarella fresh
- 2 spsk Olive Oil
- 500 gram Tomato fresh
- 2 pcs. Red bell pepper
- 2 pcs. Squash
- 2 clove Garlic
- 1 handful Basil Leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar vinegar

Instructions
- Chop tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini into small cubes and sauté them for a few minutes in the oil in a pan.
- Crush garlic cloves and chop basil – add to the pan along with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the tortellini according to the instructions on the package in lightly salted water.
- Mash the now-soft tomatoes and zucchini lightly with a fork in the pan to make a coarse tomato sauce.
- Drain the tortellini and toss them in the pan.
- Slice mozzarella and place on top in the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven for 6-7 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) – just until the mozzarella is melted. Serve with a bit of fresh basil on top.
