Ingredients
Preparation
First, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fresh vegetarian tortellini (250 g) until al dente according to the package instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, briefly toast the walnut kernels (20 g) in a small pan without fat until fragrant, then set aside.
In the same pan, heat the cream (150 ml) over medium heat and let the Gorgonzola (80 g) melt slowly until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Season the sauce with a pinch of black pepper (1 pinch) – you usually don't need salt as the cheese is already tangy enough.
Transfer the cooked tortellini (250 g) directly from the water into the pan with the sauce and toss gently.
Finally, arrange everything on a plate, sprinkle with the toasted walnut kernels (20 g) and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley (1 bunch).
