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.

Step 3

Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
