Creamy Tortellini Carbonara: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minute

Ingredients

– 12 ounces cheese-filled tortellini
– 4 ounces pancetta or bacon, diced
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparing Creamy Tortellini Carbonara is straightforward. Follow these steps for a successful dish:

1. Cook Tortellini: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

2. Cook Pancetta: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess fat if desired.

3. Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet with pancetta, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Combine Eggs and Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with a bit of salt and black pepper.

5. Mix Tortellini: Add the drained tortellini to the skillet with pancetta and garlic. Stir gently to combine.

6. Add Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the tortellini, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until reaching desired consistency.

7. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

8. Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately while the dish is hot and creamy.

Creating Creamy Tortellini Carbonara is a delightful process that results in a meal everyone will rave about.
