To a large, high-sided pan pan add the butter over medium heat. When bubbly add the shallot. Cook until softened, make sure the butter doesn’t brown.

When the water is boiling, add the tortellini and cook until they float to the top. If using store bought, cook according to package directions.

When the tortellini is done, use a slotted spoon to transfer straight into the butter and shallots.

Use a cup to reserve some of the pasta cooking water.

Add the Parmesan, pepper and peas. Stir well to create a creamy sauce by mixing the cheese with the butter adding a little water to make it to your liking. Turn off the heat and serve immediately with chopped parsley.
