1
Prepare the Tortellini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Cook the Peas
In a pan, add olive oil over medium heat. Add the peas and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3
Make the Egg Cream Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4
Combine Ingredients
In the same pan used for the peas, add the cooked tortellini and prosciutto ham (sliced into strips). Pour the egg cream sauce over the tortellini and toss gently to combine. Cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5
Finish and Serve
Add the sautéed peas back to the pan, mix well, and cook for an additional minute. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
