Craving something effortlessly elegant for dinner tonight? Then you’ll love everything about this Creamy Tortellini recipe, starting with the fact that it uses only five ingredients and it’s on the table in 25 minutes. The creamy sauce perfectly highlights the tortellini and asparagus, and a finish of crumbled bacon makes it extra delicious. Not only does this easy weekday recipe feel like a weekend treat, cleanup is a breeze- you make everything right in the same skillet.
Step 1
Add the bacon to a 12-inch skillet over medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Pour off bacon drippings.
Step 2
Add the broth and soup to the pan, stir to combine and heat to a boil. Stir in the asparagus and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add in the tortellini and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tortellini is tender, the asparagus is easily pierced with a knife, and the soup mixture is thickened. Stir in the bacon. Season with cracked black pepper, if desired. Serve in shallow bowls.
