Description

This creamy Bacon Tortellini Alfredo combines tender cheese-filled tortellini with a luscious, rich Alfredo sauce made from cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and parmesan cheese. The smoky, crispy bacon adds a savory element, while the garlic and chicken broth deepen the flavor. This dish is perfect for a comforting dinner that feels indulgent yet comes together quickly.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with bacon grease, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, stirring frequently until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce becomes smooth.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and gradually add the parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked tortellini and bacon back to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
