Tortellini in a Parmesan cream sauce
Tortellini are one of Modena’s most beloved dishes: with their filling of Parmesan, mortadella and prosciutto crudo, they tantalize the palate and are a real treat for the taste buds. One way to further emphasize the “Modenese” character and flavor of this fresh pasta is to dress it with a good Parmigiano Reggiano cream, another typical product from our area that’s always ready to yield exquisite recipes.
The method is very simple, but the result is spectacular. Shall we get cooking?
