This pasta recipe is a comforting, and simple dish fit for any weeknight supper. Sometimes I feel like adding cream to a sauce is cheating since nothing with heavy cream is ever bad. However, I love the richness which cream brings to a sauce, not only that but in this recipe the ham, mushroom, and pepper flavours are really enhance by the cream.
Tortellini with Mushrooms, Ham, Red Peppers and Cream
(serves 2-4)
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups mushrooms, roughly chopped or thickly sliced
1 cup cooked ham, cut into a large dice
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 package tortellini, (about 350g)
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium low heat and add mushrooms with a healthy dose of pepper. Cook turning occasionally for about 10-15 minutes. Add ham and saute then add peppers and cook for 5 minutes. Add pasta to cook and pour cream over mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the pasta is cook. Taste and correct if necessary.
