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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Slice the prosciutto into thin strips and add it to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the frozen peas to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to heat through.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the Tortellini Ai Formaggi warm and enjoy!
