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!
