Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Carefully add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until they are al dente and tender.
- In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add diced bacon. Cook the bacon for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes crispy and golden.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the chopped onion and sauté for around 5 minutes until it turns soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, black pepper, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Lower the heat under the skillet to low, return the drained tortellini to the skillet, and stir gently. Gradually pour the cream mixture over the tortellini, stirring continuously for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add the crispy bacon and thawed frozen peas back into the skillet. Gently mix everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes
Watch the heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling, and use freshly grated Parmesan for best results.
