Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 oz pancetta, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook tortellini according to package instructions until they float, about 3-5 minutes. Drain.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Combine cooked tortellini with the pancetta and garlic in the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and gently stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through without scrambling the eggs.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: Swap pancetta for bacon or include vegetables like spinach or peas for extra nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream to maintain creaminess.
