Add the frozen peas and the diced ham. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the peas become vibrant and the ham is lightly browned. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Step 4: Combine the Ingredients Add the drained tortellini to the skillet, stirring gently to combine the ingredients. Cook them together for 2-3 minutes, so the tortellini absorbs the flavors and is heated through. Step 5: Serving Once everything is well mixed and heated, divide the tortellini with peas and ham into plates. Sprinkle grated parmesan on top, if desired, for added flavor. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over the dish can add an elegant touch and refined taste.
