Tortellini Straw and Hay

Start by browning ham in a large skillet. Add peas once ham is nice and browned. Cook the peas with the ham for about 2 minutes or until they are cooked but not mushy. Remove the peas and ham from the pan and set a side.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the tortellini. Be sure to not overcook the tortellini. Strain and put aside.

Add the butter and garlic into the pan. Cook until the garlic begins to brown but does not burn. Add the cream and bring to a bubble, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the grated parmesan cheese to the cream mixture. Stir.

Return the peas and ham to the pan. Stir. Add the noodles to the sauce and stir. Heat until warm through.

Garnish with parsley and shredded (or grated) parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
