Ingredients
350 g fresh cheese tortellini
3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
½ tsp salt

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta following package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion, garlic and salt, and cook until softened, about 5 min.
Add passata and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 12 min.
