Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Make the sauce

    10 min

    Cut the ham into thin strips and chop the garlic. Sauté the ham in the butter for about 2 minutes, then add the garlic and peas and cook together for 3 minutes. Pour in the cream and simmer for 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

  2. Cook the tortellini

    5 min

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to the package directions, usually 2–3 minutes for fresh tortellini. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

  3. Combine

    3 min

    Remove the skillet with the sauce from the heat and stir in most of the Parmesan. Add the tortellini, toss to coat, and thin with the pasta cooking water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Serve

    Serve the tortellini immediately, sprinkled with the remaining Parmesan.

Tip: Stir the Parmesan into the sauce off the heat, as a vigorous boil can cause it to clump. Thin a thick sauce with pasta cooking water, not milk.
