pasta, peas and prosciutto


for an evening where pasta favorites are becoming boring, try this recipe for an interesting change. i use thawed frozen cheese tortellini for the pasta noodle.
first, i saute thin slices of prosciutto in a large pan, then add some sliced onion and continue to stir fry. while this is cooking, i quickly boil the water to cook the tortellini for just a few minutes as directed on the package.
when the tortellini is ready to add to the pot, drain the water and add, along with the peas and a can of diced tomatoes. if i have green onions on hand, i add those as well.
this is served up on the plate with freshly grated parmesan on top. sides to this entree include a spinach or romaine salad along with a crusty bread or breadsticks.
