• 1 Cup Frozen Green Peas
• 1 Cup Whipping Cream
• 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

Boil tortellini according to package directions. Reserve about 3/4 cup pasta cooking water. Drain tortellini and return to saucepan. Meanwhile, cook bacon over medium-high heat for 4 minutes or until bacon begins to brown, stirring frequently. Remove bacon and add mushrooms and onions to the bacon fat and cook 11-13 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add frozen peas, cream, cheese and pepper, stirring frequently. Pour sauce and bacon over tortellini in saucepan; toss until well blended. If desired, for a thinner sauce, add some reserved pasta cooking water. Makes about 6 cups.
