Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 oz cheese-stuffed tortellini
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 oz diced pancetta or turkey bacon
  • 2 cloves minced garlic (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook tortellini in boiling salted water according to package instructions; reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and grated parmesan until smooth; set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced pancetta until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Add garlic for the last minute if desired.
  4. Combine drained tortellini with the pancetta in the skillet. Pour egg mixture over pasta while stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Gradually add reserved pasta water to achieve desired creaminess.
