Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 oz cheese-stuffed tortellini
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 oz diced pancetta or turkey bacon
  • 2 cloves minced garlic (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. Whisk together eggs and parmesan in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook pancetta until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Add optional garlic for the last minute of cooking.
  4. Combine drained tortellini with pancetta in the skillet. Stir in the egg mixture gradually while constantly mixing to prevent curdling. Add reserved pasta water as needed for desired sauce consistency.
  5. Season with salt and pepper; garnish with extra parmesan and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
