    Recipe Introduction


    Serves 4
    Prep time: 10 minutes; Total time: 10 minutes

    List of Ingredients




    Coarse salt and ground pepper
    1 1/2 pounds frozen cheese tortellini
    1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 garlic clove, smashed
    1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (optional)



    Recipe



    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook tortellini about 2 minutes less than package instructions. Add peas; cook until pasta is al dente and peas are tender, 2 minutes more. Reserving 1 cup pasta water, drain. Set aside pasta and peas.

    Melt butter in pasta pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Discard garlic.

    To pasta pot, add pasta and peas, Parmesan, and 3/4 cup reserved pasta water; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Add more pasta water, if necessary, to thin sauce. Serve, topped with additional Parmesan if desired.
