Tortellini with Bacon and Greens.

I know, I know, I have been behind in my cooking.  We have had our plates pretty full here so I have not been stressing myself out with cooking new things lately.  I am happy to say that I finally started getting my new magazines so I should start making some new dishes soon!

Here is one we did try and really liked.  It was super easy too!

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

  1. 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.
  2. Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat and brown the butter: Melt the butter in a skillet or small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl or stir the butter with a wooden spoon as it starts to foam and sputter. Remove the butter from the heat as soon as it begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  3. Break the bacon into small pieces and add to skillet with the arugula, salt, pepper, and cooked tortellini. Toss well and divide among individual bowls.
