Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cheese tortellini
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 100 grams Prosciutto
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the tortellini and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Slice the prosciutto into thin strips and add it to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, then slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese in batches, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
Add the frozen peas to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to heat through.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat it in the sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the Tortellini Ai Formaggi warm and enjoy!
