Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 4 ounces Prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, finely chop the prosciutto into small pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the chopped prosciutto and cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to crisp slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
