Share:
Ingredients
- 20 ounces fresh tortellini
- 1 1/2 cups cubed ham
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic , minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh parmesan cheese , shredded, plus additional for garnishing
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
- crushed red pepper , optional for seasoning
Instructions
- Boil water in a large pot or Dutch oven. Salt well (pasta water should be as salty as seawater). Cook 20 ounces fresh tortellini according to package directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain well and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the 1 1/2 cups cubed ham over medium heat, tossing until browned. Remove to a plate and set side.
- In the same pot over medium heat, melt the 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and saute the 2 cloves fresh garlic, stirring until soft, approximately 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Simmer over low heat until it thickens and cheese melts. You might still see little bits- this is the garlic and is fine.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, cooking for an additional 1 minute over low heat. Add the ham and tortellini, tossing to coat and reheat.
- To serve, top with additional grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper, if desired.
