Tortellini panna prosciutto piselli, serves 4

Ingredients:

-500g of tortellini

-1 onion

-200 ml of cooking cream

-150g of cooked ham

-150 g of peas
extra virgin olive oil to taste

-100 g of grated Parmesan

salt and pepper to taste

How to prepare

-First of all, boil the water for the tortellini in a large pot. Finely peel the onion, brown it in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, until it begins to brown.

-Add the peas to the pan with the onion and cook until soften. If needed, add a bit of hot water in the pan in order to fasten the cooking.

-Cut the slice of ham cut into cubes and sauté in the peas pan, season with salt and then turn off the heat.

-Salt the boiling water and cook the tortellini; they will be ready as soon as they come to the surface: this fresh pasta will be particularly quick, keep an eye on them.

-Keep half a glass of cooking water from the tortellini aside.

-Drain the tortellini “al dente” and pour them into the pan with the sauce, toss them, adding, if necessary, a bit of the water you have kept aside.

-Finally, add the cooking cream and stir further for a couple of minutes.

-Turn off the heat and stir in a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese.

-Serve the tortellini with this delicious condiment adding a pinch of freshly grated pepper to taste.

Pumpkin mezzelune with butter, sage and Parmesan – serves 4

Ingredients:

-650g of mezzelune

-50g butter

-10 sage leaves

-50g Parmesan

pinch of salt

pinch of ground pepper (optional)

How to prepare

-Cook the pumpkin mezzelune in a large saucepan with boiling salted water. The pasta is ready as soon as it comes to the surface.

-Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat in a pan. Add the sage leaves and leave to infuse for a few minutes to flavour the butter well, being careful not to burn it.

-Once the ravioli are ready, take them out of the water with a slotted spoon and put them in a colander (they are too delicate to be drained directly like spaghetti).

-Empty the pot and put the ravioli back inside. Add the butter to the sage, removing the leaves, the grated Parmesan and a little ground pepper. Gently mix to cover the ravioli with the sauce and serve immediately in hot dishes with bit more Parmesan cheese on top.
