Tortellini With Bacon and Greens
Quentin Bacon
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the tortellini according to the package directions.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve the bacon and discard the drippings.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.

After frying up the bacon in this recipe and double-checking the butter measurement, I decided to halve the butter and use some of the chicken broth that I cooked the tortellini in to make up for the difference. It came out BEAUTIFULLY, restaurant-style even. Using good-quality frozen ravioli on this on was a real time saver, too.

Made in Jun '09. This was a good, simple dish, but my daughter did comment that it was a bit too "oily" for her, while my husband wondered if adding more bacon and veggies would temper the buttery taste.
