Fresh stuffed pasta makes a filling and flavoursome base for a quick meal and is widely available in most supermarket chiller cabinets. This tortelloni with ham and mushrooms is ready in just 10 mins, you can’t get much quicker than that. We’ve chosen a four cheese filled tortelloni but there are many other fillings you can choose from including spinach and ricotta, mushroom, bacon and tomato and sausage and ham. For a vegetarian meal use spinach and ricotta tortelloni and replace the ham with marinated artichokes or roasted peppers from a jar or the deli counter. You'll have a family meal on the table in next to no time.
