(WSVN) - Everybody loves delicious Italian flavors, especially when you can make it in one pan at home. That’s what’s on the menu as we grab a Bite with Belkys.
Ingredients:
1 ½ tbs. unsalted butter
4 slices prosciutto (you can also use bacon)
1 shallot, finely chopped
16-20 oz. bag of refrigerated cheese tortellini (not frozen)
2 cups frozen peas (no need to thaw)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste
Zest and juice of one lemon
Method of Preparation:
- In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the prosciutto and cook, flipping halfway through until golden and crisp- about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the prosciutto to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Next, add shallots to the pan and sauté until softened, about 2-4 minutes.
- Add ½ tbs. butter if the pan is dry.
- Add the tortellini, peas, chicken broth, heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until the pasta and peas are tender, about 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon zest and juice.
- Season again with salt and pepper if needed, and top with crumbled prosciutto.
Serve and enjoy!
