In a large pasta pot over medium high heat, bring well salted water to a rolling boil.
While water is coming to a boil, chop peaches, basil and roughly slice or tear the prosciutto.
Once water is boiling, cook the tortellini according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes if using fresh tortellini.
Once tortellini is cooked, drain it but do NOT rinse.
Add tortellini to a large mixing bowl and drizzle 1-2 tbsp olive oil over the pasta to prevent clumping.
Add in mascarpone and gently fold into the tortellini using a silicone spatula. Note that you may need to mix for a minute or two to fully incorporate the mascarpone.
Next add in chopped peaches, basil, prosciutto and black pepper, folding gently again until fully incorporated.
Serve warm or chilled.
