Erbe in cucina - Ricetta: Tortellini con salame e basilico

Recipe: Tortellini with Salami and Basil
PPN #150

February 09, 2010

Did you store basil last summer? I did it and I'm using it to add a 'summer touch' to some dishes, like this hearty pasta.

Tortellini with Salami and Basil

Ingredients
Serves two:
200g ham tortellini
100g salami
100ml single cream
1 cube of frozen basil (or 2-3 tbsp of minced fresh basil)

Directions
Cook tortellini in boiling salted water until al dente.
Meanwhile put the single cream and cubed salami on a pan and let thicken for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and add the basil.
Drain well the tortellini, season with the salami sauce and serve immediately.

I am entering this in Presto Pasta Nights, this week hosted by The Well Seasoned Cook.

Author: Susan (URL) 11/02/2010 So, so easy, Graziana! Love the idea of popping in a cube of frozen basil. I hope to have done my homework this coming summer to reserve it for cold days like this. Thank you very much for your lovely PPN recipe!
Author: Nic (URL) 15/02/2010 That looks delicious. My basil plants seemed to die before I could use them all up last year. I shall have to remember to freeze some when summer comes, what a good idea. Thank you :)
