Instructions

Cook bacon
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add bacon to the dry pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 7-9 min.** Remove the pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 1 tbsp bacon fat (dbl for 4 ppl) from the pan.

Prep
2

Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then thinly slice shallot into 1/8-inch slices.

Cook tortellini
3

Add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Drain and return tortellini to the same pot, off heat.

Make creamy basil pesto sauce
4

While tortellini cooks, heat the pan with reserved bacon fat (from step 1) over medium-high. When hot, add shallots and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat, then stir in pesto and cream.

Assemble tortellini
5

Add creamy basil pesto sauce, half the bacon and half the Parmesan to the pot with tortellini. Stir until tortellini is coated.

Finish and serve
6

Divide tortellini between bowls. Sprinkle remaining bacon and remaining Parmesan over top.
