Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium leek white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise then crosswise into thin half moons, and rinsed of dirt
- salt
- 1 pound tortellini I like the Rana brand, store-bought fresh, or tortelloni
- ½ cup water or for more flavor, chicken broth
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces prosciutto cut into ¼-inch matchsticks SEE BUYING TIP*
- ¾ cup peas frozen, sweet
- 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese about 3/4 cup), plus more for sprinkling, finely grated
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large skillet, warm the 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Toss in the 1 medium leek, season with salt, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the 1 pound store-bought fresh tortellini or tortelloni to the skillet, pour in the ½ cup water--careful here because there could be a big whoosh of steam--and immediately cover the pan.
- Let the tortellini steam, stirring occasionally, until all the water has been absorbed by the pasta, about 5 minutes.
- Bump the heat to high.
- Add the 1 ¼ cups heavy cream, 4 ounces prosciutto matchsticks, ¾ cup frozen sweet peas, and 2 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Let the sauce cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Slide the pan off the heat, season with salt, if needed, and a good sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper. The sauce will continue to thicken.
- Serve in heated bowls with plenty more cheese.
Notes
- When buying the prosciutto, ask for one ¼-inch slice. That makes it easy to create the batons. If you have any left over, use them for salads or other pasta dishes.
- Buying tip--When buying the prosciutto, ask for one ¼-inch slice. That makes it easy to create the batons. If you have any left over, use them for salads or other pasta dishes.
- Avoid overcooking--Don't overcook the tortellini, as they tend to fall apart if cooked for too long.
- Storage and reheating--Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or water, if needed, to loosen the sauce.
