Summer Garden Tortelloni

This summer garden tortelloni is a vibrant, high-protein dish that makes the most of seasonal produce. The combination of sweet, tender corn and salty prosciutto creates a sophisticated flavour profile that feels remarkably light despite its satisfying nature. It is an excellent choice for a quick midweek meal when you want something that tastes fresh from the garden without spending hours in the kitchen.

Using shop-bought cheese tortelloni as a base keeps preparation to a minimum, allowing the fresh tomatoes and aromatic basil to shine. The starch from the pasta water helps create a light coating that binds the ingredients together beautifully. Serve this colourful pasta on its own or with a crisp green salad for a balanced, nutritious lunch or dinner.

Ingredients for Summer Garden Tortelloni

  • 1 (230g) bag dried cheese tortelloni

  • 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 60g thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into strips

  • 450g corn (from 4 ears)

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter

  • 2 medium tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup chopped basil

How to make Summer Garden Tortelloni

Cook tortelloni in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 5.7L water) according to package instructions.

While tortelloni boils, cook garlic, prosciutto, corn, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until corn is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop tomatoes.

Combine corn mixture and tomatoes in a large bowl.

Reserve 60ml pasta-cooking water, then drain tortelloni and add to vegetables along with reserved cooking water and basil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.
