Tortellini with Prosciutto & Peas in Alfredo Sauce

I bought some new cookbooks for myself for New Year's and have been making some fabulous recipes from a WW "Make it in Minutes" cook book. This one's yummy.
  • 1/2 lb refrigerated fresh cheese tortellini
  • 1 c frozen peas
  • 1/4 lb thin sliced deli prosciutto, chopped
  • 2 TB flour
  • 1.5 c fat free half and half
  • 1/2 c parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions. Stir in the peas during the last two minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, coat a large nonstick skillet with spray and heat over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring until lightly browned. Remove and reserve the prosciutto. Add the half and half and the flour and stir to break up any lumps. Then cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese and pepper, remove from heat. Add the prosciutto, tortellini and peas and toss to coat with sauce.

Yield: 4 servings, 2 cups each, 6 points
