Tortellini with ham, arugula, and grated parmesan is a refined blend of Italian traditions and light flavors. Tortellini, the famous pasta from the Emilia-Romagna region, is filled with the rich meaty note of ham, the spiciness of arugula, and the deep creaminess of parmesan. Lightly sautéing shallots in olive oil adds an extra sweet aroma to the dish. This recipe is perfect for a cozy family dinner or an elegant meal with friends. Its taste is harmonious: tortellini are tender, ham adds saltiness, arugula refreshes, and parmesan completes the picture with a rich cheesy note. Serve with a glass of white wine for a full immersion into Italian gastronomy.
