Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz cheese tortellini
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 14 oz Hunt's diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into small pieces.
Discard most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic in the skillet for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the Hunt's diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in the chopped bacon.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
