Fresh tortellini is ideal for a weeknight dinner since it cooks so quickly. You can find it in the refrigerator section of your supermarket. Here, we use a mushroom-and-cheese filling, but others would work. Also, substitute fresh baby spinach in place of arugula, if desired. Prep: 20 minutes, Cook: 12 minutes. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
4 thin slices prosciutto di parma |
1 small onion, minced (about 1/2 cup) |
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage or rosemary sprigs |
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1/4 pound arugula leaves, rinsed and dried (about 2 cups) |
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated mushroom tortellini |
salt, to taste |
freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
