Recipe Instructions
Cook the tortellini 85% of the way. Keep them undercook as they will continue to cook in the cream. As soon as you remove them from the water, add a little bit of olive oil and rub them carefully to coat them but not breaking them.
In a sauté pan, heat the butter, add the shallots and prosciutto and shallots. Sauté for 2 minutes or until shallots turn light brown. Add the tomato puree and sauté for a few minute to caramelize all the ingredients together. Add the Vodka and stir, then ignite with a match (optional). When flames subside, add the chopped tomatoes, cream and precooked pasta let reduce for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cream thicken slightly.
Adjust the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the Parmigiano and serve immediately.
