Keith's Favorite Tortellini - Tortellini Baronessa with mushrooms, peas and prosciutto

This recipe is one of Keith's favorites.  I love it too!  It's from Figlio's restaurant in Minneapolis.  I posted a gnocchi recipe inspired by this a few weeks ago.  Here's the original recipe.  It's fantastic...I hope you like it as well as we do!

Tortellini Baronessa

3 cups whipping cream, room temperature
1 egg yolk, room temperature
1 lb grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of nutmeg
2 lb uncooked fresh or frozen meat and cheese-filled egg tortellini
4 oz fresh mushrooms, sautéed
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
4 oz prosciutto ham, cut into julienne strips

Pour cream into a hot saucepan; heat to boiling.  Add small amount of hot cream to egg yolk in a small bowl; whisk.  Return to cream in saucepan.  Reduce heat to simmer; add Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, whisking constantly until sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.  Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.  Remove from heat.

Cook tortellini as directed on package; drain.  Stir tortellini into cream sauce.  Stir in mushrooms, pease, and prosciutto.  Heat throughly.
