TORTILINI RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream and stir frequently until heated through. Season with nutmeg and pepper. Slowly mix in Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly, and allow to thicken. Mix in ham and peas.
• Drain cooked tortellini and return to the pot. Pour sauce over tortellini and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to boil.
• Once water is boiling add tortellini. Cook according to directions on the package. Stick to that time precisely or even reduce it by 1 minute to avoid that tortellini fall apart when you add them to the sauce.
• While you’re waiting for water to boil to cook tortellini in, prepare the cream sauce.Place a pan over medium heat, add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (you can substitute it with butter if you prefer).
• Add heavy cream and stir. Once you see first bubbles reduce the heat, add nutmeg and stir again.Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce has slightly reduced, it should be still liquid. Turn the heat off.
• Once tortellini are ready, reserve a cup or a little less of their cooking liquid.Drain tortellini and add to the pan with the cream sauce.
• Turn on the heat and toss everything in the pan until the sauce has coated tortellini (it’ll take about a minute or so).
• Remove the pan from the heat and add Parmesan cheese, stir until tortellini are well covered with the creamy sauce.If tortellini dry out a bit add a few tablespoons of previously reserved pasta cooking liquid (that should be warm but NOT boiling by now).Give everything another good toss in the pan.
• Serve immediately with fresh ground pepper.
