Marinated plant-based meatballs

This tortellini dish was a try out but became popular on BlueSky so I spent time to perfect it. It’s now a firm favourite in our house. I have also used plantbased chorizo sausages but you can use tofu instead. It’s added for protein and the chorizo gives a little extra spice.
Recipe steps from Mealie.
Preheat the airfryer to 180 degrees.
Cut onion in half, half again and cut into slices. Cut courgette into bite-sized pieces. Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Slice chorizo sausages (or cut tofu in cubes).
Fry the sausages in the air fryer for 8min on 180 degrees. Keep aside. If using tofu instead, mix the tofu with a bit of oil and salt and pepper before putting them in the airfryer.
Heat oil in a pan and once hot, add the garlic and onion. Fry for 5-8min on medium high heat to soften the onion.
Add the courgette to the pan, increase the heat slightly, and fry for about 4min until the courgette has some browning. Alternatively, break green beans in half and fry on a higher heat to defrost.
Add the frozen spinach to the pan and fry for c. 4 min to defrost, mixing through the vegetable mix.
Add the can of chopped tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add the maple syrup to the tomato sauce, add salt/pepper to taste (optional).
While preparing the sauce, bring 1l of water to boil in a kettle. Cook the tortellini in a pot with the pre-boiled water for 4min. Drain and set aside.
Add the chorizo, fresh tomatoes and tortellini to the sauce pan. Mix through gently.
Enjoy your meal!
