Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the drained tomatoes and the plum tomato sauce then the tortellini.
3. In a medium bowl, toss the cheese with the basil. Stir 1 cup into pasta mixture. Cut the sausage into thin coins and add to the pasta. Transfer pasta to a lightly greased 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Recipe can be prepared a day in advance to this point and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before baking.
