One-Pot Tortellini Carbonara
Ingredients:
1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
8 oz bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
Β½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Bacon: In a large pot or skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the pot.
Cook the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pot with the bacon fat and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Prepare the Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes. Drain the pasta, but reserve Β½ cup of the pasta cooking water.
Make the Carbonara Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt.
Combine the Ingredients: Return the cooked tortellini to the pot, and pour the egg mixture over the pasta. Quickly stir to coat the pasta evenly, using the reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Add the crispy bacon and mix until combined.
Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy the creamy, bacon-infused goodness of One-Pot Tortellini Carbonara!
