Tortellini with Prosciutto and Peas

 (photo taken from WW cookbook)
WW Make it in Minutes
has a terrific recipe for tortellini.
Serves 4 (yields 8 cups)
20 minutes to make.
We love this!

* * *




1/2 lb. refrigerated fresh cheese tortellini
* I use the 20 oz. package *
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 lb. deli-sliced prosciutto, chopped
2 TBL all-purpose flour
1 cup skim milk
1/2 lb. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp coarsely chopped black pepper
* * *
1)  Bring large pot of water to boil. Add tortellini
and cook according to package directions,
usually 7-9 minutes.
Stir in peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking;
drain.
2)  Meanwhile, coat large nonstick skillet with
nonstick spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally,
until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
Remove and reserve the prosciutto.
Dissolve the flour in milk in a small bowl
and add to the skillet.
Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened,
8-10 minutes.  Remove from the heat and stir
in the Parmesan cheese and pepper.
Add the prosciutto, tortellini, and peas.
Toss to coat

Serve with spinach salad if desired.
