Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup white wine
1 ½ pounds refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cups frozen peas
1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce

Steps:

  • Add bacon to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
  • Reduce heat under skillet to low. Add olive oil and garlic to drippings in the skillet. Cook and stir until garlic becomes aromatic, no more than 1 minute. Add mushrooms to skillet and sprinkle with kosher salt. Cook until mushrooms soften and turn brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add white wine to the skillet and simmer until mushrooms are cooked fully, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes. Add peas and continue cooking until tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain and set aside.
  • Add Alfredo sauce and black pepper to the skillet with the fully cooked mushrooms and stir completely. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add cooked tortellini and peas to the skillet and stir gently until well coated. Crumble cooked bacon slices on top and serve in bowls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese will give your alfredo sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Tortellini only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become mushy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir.
  • Add the cheese gradually. Add the cheese to the sauce a little at a time, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Serve immediately. Alfredo sauce is best served immediately, while it's still hot and creamy.

Conclusion:

This easy cheese tortellini alfredo recipe is a quick and delicious meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great recipe for entertaining, as it can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. Whether you're serving it to your family or friends, this cheesy pasta dish is sure to be a hit.
