  pot on medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds.Stir in the
  Alfredo sauce and heat to warm through.
• 6 Add the sauce to the cooked tortellini and stir in the peas. Heat through.
• 7 To serve, top bowls of tortellini and peas with crumbled, crispy prosciutto,
  shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
