Quick and Easy Crispy Tortellini with Arugula for Busy Weeknights

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Made this for dinner the other night. My family enjoyed it. The only thing I did was to leave off the proscitto. I made it and put it on the table for my family to add if they wanted it. That way both the vegetarians and non vegetarians could eat this. We used Arugula and cheese filled tortellini for the pasta.

    Weeknight Tortellini With Arugula & Crispy Prosciutto, Mmmm! Is this good! It tastes very gourmet without much work I got this in an e-mail recipe exchange (similar to a chain letter) where each person shares one of their all-time recipes! Jenny who sent this to me said she adapted it from a recipe in Cottage Living Magazine , Made this for dinner the other night My family enjoyed it The only thing I did was to leave off the proscitto I made it and put it on the table for my family to add if they wanted it That way both the vegetarians and non vegetarians could eat this We used Arugula and cheese filled tortellini for the pasta , Really really good, and so easy to prepare! I managed to get some nice baby spinach leaves, and I already had arugula, so I mixed the two 🙂 I didn’t have prosciutto, so didn’t use that, and used a cheese tortellini Cut down quite a bit on the oil, in fact used about a tblspoon of butter instead, maybe just a little more I like the toasted pine nuts suggestion from some reviewers, whilst I didnt do that, I definitely will! Very much enjoyed this, thanks for a very tasty recipe!
