Mascarpone Tortellini
Report
Mascarpone Tortellini blends spinach and cheese tortellini with a creamy sauce of mascarpone, butter, and sweet peas, finished with Parmesan cheese. The dish offers soft pasta, smooth richness, and subtle sweetness from the peas in a warm, comforting meal.
Description
This recipe cooks spinach cheese tortellini in salted water until tender, then combines it with butter-sautéed peas seasoned lightly with salt and black pepper. Adding mascarpone cheese melts into the pasta and peas, forming a rich, creamy coating that softens the tortellini further.
The peas provide gentle sweetness and a slight textural contrast to the soft pasta and creamy sauce. Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top adds a salty, nutty finish to the dish. The recipe’s simplicity highlights delicate flavors and creamy textures suitable for a quick yet comforting dish.

Ingredients
- 12 ounces spinach cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 cup mascarpone
- 8 ½ ounces sweet peas drained and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the cheese spinach tortellini in salted water and according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size skillet, melt the butter and add the canned peas. Season with salt and pepper and cook until warm. If using frozen peas, cook a bit longer. They need to be soft but not mushy.
- Once the tortellini are cooked and drained, return them to the cooking pan and add the peas and mascarpone. Mix and fold the pasta with the sauce to soften it.
- Serve immediately with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.
