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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Meanwhile, finely chop the prosciutto into small pieces.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped prosciutto and cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to crisp slightly.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately, with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
