Ingredients
- 1 pound cheese or meat tortellini
- 4 ounces sliced bacon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups arugula (about 1 bunch)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Cook the tortellini according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve the bacon and discard the drippings.
- Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Add the butter and swirl or stir with a wooden spoon as it starts to foam and sputter. Remove from heat as soon as it begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, about 1 minute.
- Break the bacon into small pieces and add to the skillet with the arugula, salt, pepper, and cooked tortellini; toss well. Divide among individual bowls.

is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
