This is a fantastic pasta dish. We loved how the lemon zest lifted the creaminess of the sauce and the saltiness of the prosciutto . Highly recommend . It’s going into my best of file

Delish. I love this dish and have made several different variations of it. This is now my very favorite. I loved the seasonings and adding the mozzarella put it over the top for me. Very creamy and filling. This is now in my Best of cookbook. Thanks for sharing, Nat.

Delicious and exactly what I felt in the mood for on a cool evening. With all the ingredients to hand, this took little time to prepare, and was so good, rich but comfort in one dish! Thank you, loved this

I did make a few change to this recipe ~ I used fresh cheese and ricotta Tortellini instead of frozen, I halved the peas and left out the prosciutto ham ~ using some fresh tomato instead (only because my DD does not eat meat). Apart from that everything was as per the recipe, and what a recipe! Apart from me overcooking the Tortellini (only a little) this was amazing. I served with garlic bread and we really did enjoy this recipe. I also had enough for the next day... wow, we really did enjoy this. So creamy and rich and full of flavor! I will be making this again for sure!
