Tortellini with Balsamic Browned Butter and Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Sausage
- 12 ounces, weight Italian Flavored Chicken Sausage
- 3 ounces, weight Prosciutto
- 18 ounces, weight Cheese Tortellini, Fresh
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated, Divided
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F or you could so grill thesethat would be even better.
- Wrap the sausages with prosciutto (keep in mind you dont have to use the whole package; just enough to wrap them with) and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
- Broil for about 5 minutes on each side, but watch them carefully because all ovens cook differently and you dont want the prosciutto to burn.
- Thats the time it took mine to get slightly browned and a little crispy.
- While those are cooking, make the tortellini according to package directions and drain.
- Pour the pasta into a large serving bowl and cover.
- When the sausages are done, remove from the oven and slice into 1/2 discs.
- Cover with aluminum foil and set aside.
- In a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat, cook the butter, stirring, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn golden in color, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute.
- Stir in balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Add the sauce to the pasta and toss; top with sausage and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
