I've made this bacon, cream and Parmesan cheese pasta sauce for so many years and have always called it a carbonara. Low-and-behold, I recently found out it's actually more like an Alfredo sauce.

TORTELLINI ALFREDO



Tortellini Alfredo image

Refrigerated tortellini, ham, mushrooms and peas are treated to a mild homemade Alfredo sauce in this fast fix Chris Snyder shares. "When we're having company, I prepare this dinner shortly before guests arrive, put it in a casserole dish and keep it warm in the oven," notes the Boulder, Colorado reader.

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 packages (9 ounces each) refrigerated cheese tortellini

1 cup thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1-3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Cook tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add the peas, mushrooms and ham; cook until mushrooms are tender.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially important for the peas and bacon.
  • Cook the tortellini al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked tortellini will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Peas should be cooked until they are bright green and tender, but they should still retain their shape. Overcooked peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The better the quality of bacon, the better the dish will taste. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese has a much better flavor than pre-grated cheese. If you don't have a grater, you can use a microplane zester.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Alfredo sauce is best when it is served immediately after it is made. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the tortellini and bacon and then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat the tortellini and bacon and then toss them with the Alfredo sauce.

Conclusion:

Tortellini Alfredo with Peas and Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender tortellini, creamy Alfredo sauce, sweet peas, and crispy bacon is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better.
