Going on Vacation.

I will be taking a three week vacation and don't believe I will post in that three week period.

I will be going three weeks on an Europa-tour with my Rotary Club. We will start on 23.03.2012 in Prague, and then go to Budapest, Vienna, Padua, Venice, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Nizza, Monaco, Avignon, Geneva, Paris, and finally back in Muenster on 13.04.2012. I don't think any other spring break will be as good as this one.

Schnelle Küche: Tortellini Surprise

Cook time: 25 min.   Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

500 g. (1 lb.) Tortellini (meat, cheese, or whatever you prefer)
2-4 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
2 c. Heavy Creme
1 Tbsp. Salt (plus for pasta water)
200g. (~3/4 c.) Ham, diced

Directions:

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add a little salt to the water.

Cook the Tortellini according to the packaged directions. When the tortellini are cooked, then drain the water from the pot. Slice the ham in a small dice. Add the tomato paste, cream, salt, and ham in the pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and let cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced into a thick consistency, like mac and cheese.
