- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- ¾ c. fresh or frozen petite peas (from about 3½ oz.)

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and 1 tablespoon oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 1 minute less than package instructions. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add shallot, season with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add petite peas and sugar snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until peas are just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer pea mixture to a medium bowl.
- In same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add tortellini and toss to coat in butter. Spread in an even layer and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and al dente, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, return pea mixture to pan, and toss with tortellini. Stir in basil, mint, tarragon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Spoon tortellini onto a platter. Top with lemon zest, prosciutto, burrata, and red pepper.
