Tortellini with cream and ham sauce: a couple of words that light up hearts with hope, joy, and will to live.

Few recipes manage to bring peace back to the home like Bolognese tortellini, especially when seasoned with a delicious sauce of cream and ham.

If you are short of ideas and do not know what to prepare for dinner, here is the recipe for tortellini from Bologna. But I suggest you make them in industrial quantities, on a rainy afternoon, freeze them and keep them ready for the evenings when the need for comfort food it’s skyrocketing.

You will need just a few ingredients to make the magic happen: cream, ham, nutmeg and a pound of tortellini for each person.

Perhaps the gnocchi with ragù has the same soothing power, it is a nice competition between two hot dishes. You could even make war on these two jewels of Italian cuisine, but for now, let’s be satisfied with tortellini with cream and ham. Rossella O’Hara would say tomorrow is another recipe if she was a food blogger.
