Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high and boil a full kettle

Step 2

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Step 3

Peel and slice (don't chop!) the garlic and roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes

Step 4

Add the sliced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and cook for 2-3 min

Step 5

Add the flaked almonds to a baking tray and put the tray under the grill for 2-4 min or until toasted and lightly golden. Tip: Watch them like a hawk so they don't burn!

Step 6

Meanwhile, add the tomato & mozzarella tortelloni to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Step 7

Cook the tortelloni for 3-4 min or until cooked with a slight bite

Step 8

Once done, drain the tortelloni, reserving a cup of the starchy pasta water

Step 9

While the pasta is cooking, add the spinach to a colander and pour boiled water all over it so that it starts to wilt and then rinse the wilted spinach under the cold tap until it's cool. Once cool, squeeze as much water out of the spinach as you can, then chop it roughly

Step 10

Add the Chinese rice wine, vegetable stock mix, soft cheese and 50ml boiled water to the pan with the sun-dried tomatoes, give everything a good mix up and cook for 1-2 min or until the sauce is starting to thicken

Step 11

While the sauce is thickening, drain the mozzarella, then pat and squeeze as much liquid out as you can with kitchen paper

Step 12

Once the pasta sauce has thickened slightly, add the drained tortelloni and chopped wilted spinach to the pan and give everything a gentle mix up until the pasta is coated in the sauce – this is your creamy sun-dried tomato sauce with mozzarella & tomato tortelloni. Tip: Add a splash of starchy pasta water if your sauce is looking a little dry

Step 13

Serve the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce with mozzarella & tomato tortelloni with the drained mozzarella torn over the top

Step 14

Season with a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper

Step 15

Garnish with the toasted flaked almonds and drizzle everything with a little olive oil

Step 16

Enjoy!
