Ingredients
- 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 8 bacon strips, chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Method
- Cook the tortellini according to the package directions, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and set it on folded paper towels to absorb the grease. Pour off the drippings remaining in the pan.
- In the same pan, combine the cream, cheese, parsley and bacon, then heat through over medium heat. Stir in the tortellini and serve immediately.
