Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (9 ounce) package fresh meat-filled tortellini
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (4 ounce) package finely chopped pancetta
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ tablespoon tomato puree
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup fresh green peas
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and saute until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Ladle in the reserved pasta water; simmer for about 1 minute. Add tomato puree and continue to simmer until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add cream; simmer until sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tortellini and peas, tossing to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out nothing like the picture. It was still tasty, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

This dish was a disaster! The sauce was watery and the tortellini was mushy. I won't be making this again.

I found that the tortellini took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. I ended up having to simmer it for an extra 5 minutes.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste, but it was easy to doctor up with some added spices.
