Tortellini alla Panna is so delicious and comes together with a handful of ingredients in just 15 minutes! Tortellini and sweet peas are tossed in a rich, and cheesy cream sauce. An easy and comforting Italian recipe to make on a busy weeknight or whenever you are craving something a little indulgent.

Can you make tortellini alla panna ahead of time? ITortellini alla panna is ideally enjoyed fresh and just cooked while it's still hot, offering a delectable meal that's ready in under 15 minutes. I do not recommend freezing these cheese sauce-coated tortellini, but you can keep any leftovers refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days.

Can I use fresh or frozen peas? Yes, use fresh Spring peas when they are in season or frozen will work absolutely fine! I do not recommend using canned peas.
