Tortellini Carbonara

I have been on a cooking kick lately...what am I saying...I LOVE to cook ALL THE TIME!  And lucky for me, I married someone who LOVES to eat my cooking.  Lately, I have taken to pinterest and finding recipes there.  This is my most recent one, done last night.  It was INSANELY easy and tasted AMAZING! I probably said, "I LOVE THIS" at least 10 times while eating.  I would have eaten a second plate but I literally had stuffed myself as much as I could with pure awesomeness.  I reminds me of something you would get at Macaroni Grill.  All we were missing was bread (watching the carbs).

TORTELLINI CARBONARA

INGREDIENTS:

1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini

I got ours at Costco....soo good!

8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

I tried a new way of cooking the bacon and we loved it.  Here's the link  http://www.momontimeout.com/2011/07/baking-bacon-how-to-guide-to-making.html

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup minced fresh parsley

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Cook tortellini according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the bacon, cream, parsley, and cheese; cook over medium heat until heated through.  Drain tortellini; toss with cream sauce.  Serve immediately.

Seriously folks. If you love pasta you will LOVE this. I'm already craving another plate!

Chef Miles

Sunday morning, Miles made an AMAZING breakfast! He cooked up eggs, bacon, pancakes, and even one with CHOCOLATE chips! It was SUPER tasty and wonderful.  I just had to take pictures of him cooking cause when I walked into the kitchen, I DID NOT expect to see this:

 OR THIS

I laughed out loud...the pictures DO NOT do it justice. Seriously EVERY cupboard was open, trash, and pancake dust all over the counters....I will say that he did clean up EVERYTHING and even wiped the counters (we're working on this) and washed AND PUT AWAY all the dishes.  Well done, my love!
