Ingredients
- 12 ounces cheese spinach tortellini
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup mascarpone
- 8 ½ ounces sweet peas drained and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
- salt
- 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.
