Today, after a long time, I went back to making fresh pasta and prepared the LIAR’S TORTELLINI WITH 3 Ps, meaning cream, ham, and peas!
The liar’s tortellini or surprises are nothing more than a square of pasta without filling, folded like a tortello, cappelletto, or tortellini, which I then dressed with a tasty and caloric sauce like the 3 Ps.
It’s like the main dish spaghetti with runaway clams where Runaway means escaped, in other words, pasta without mollusks!

Steps
If you want to try making liar’s tortellini, I invite you to watch the video, although I think it’s quite intuitive to make this fresh egg pasta and for the sauce:
1) in a preheated pan, I add the olive oil and chopped shallot, stirring and letting the vegetable stew, adding a drop of water to calm the sauté
2) then I add the frozen peas with a ladle of water and cook
3) in a second small pan I put a drop of oil and brown the diced cooked ham for 3/4 minutes
4) meanwhile, in a high-sided saucepan, I put water and salt, and when it boils, I throw in the liar’s tortellini that will cook in a flash!
5) I drain the handmade fresh pasta and put it in the pan with shallot peas, adding the diced ham and finally the fresh liquid cream
6) I also add the grated cheese and mix well the first course of liar’s tortellini with cream, ham, and peas!
Enjoy your meal!

Annalisa recommends…
1) Any sauce is appropriate: ragù, sausage, vegetables just stewed in a pan or grilled… better not to use mixed melting cheeses because it becomes a crazy mess!
