our absolute favorite tortellini sauce

Cook the fresh tortellini according to the instructions. Cut the ham into the finest strips possible and grate the Parmesan cheese. Heat the butter in a pan and gently sauté the ham. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Season with pepper and the Italian herbs. Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring. Season to taste. Salt isn’t really necessary, as the cheese takes care of that. I always thicken the sauce a little so it sticks to the pasta better. To do this, I use a little cornstarch, which I stir into a little cold water and then slowly add to the sauce. You can either add the tortellini directly to the sauce or serve them separately. It’s up to you.
