Don’t you love when a recipe is easy, takes less than 10 minutes, and tastes delicious? I sure do.  And when it involves only four ingredients, it is even better.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cheese spinach tortellini,
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup mascarpone,
  • 8 ½ ounces sweet peas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese,
  • salt
  • pepper
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Cook the cheese spinach tortellini in salted water and according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-size skillet, melt the butter and add the canned peas. Season with salt and pepper and cook until warm. If using frozen peas, cook a bit longer. They need to be soft but not mushy.
  • Once the tortellini are cooked and drained, return them to the cooking pan and add the peas and mascarpone. Mix and fold the pasta with the sauce to soften it.
  • Serve immediately with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.
