Tortellini with ham in creamy sauce is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines the tenderness of pasta with the rich flavor of creamy sauce. Tortellini, small rings of dough filled with various fillings, were invented in the Emilia-Romagna region and have become a symbol of Italian hospitality. In this recipe, they are combined with aromatic ham and tender shallots, soaking up the velvety texture of the creamy sauce. The dish has a rich yet balanced taste where the saltiness of the ham harmonizes with the softness of the cream. Served hot, it pairs perfectly with a glass of white wine. It's a great treat for a cozy family evening or an exquisite dinner with friends.
