Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling salted water until they just float to the top. Don't overcook or they will fall apart.
While the tortellini is cooking, slice the garlic and prosciutto into thin slices.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water for use in the sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Add the prosciutto to the pan and let it crisp up for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until lightly browned. Don't overcook or the dish with become bitter.
Stir in the heavy cream and reserved pasta water and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck on bits.
Mix in the parmesan cheese and then lower the heat to medium low. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Season the sauce with the salt and pepper and then toss it with tortellini. Serve sprinkled with extra parmesan cheese, if desired.
