Tortellini with Bacon

Cook about a pound of fresh or frozen tortellini according to package directions while you are preparing the bacon topping.

Cut up 6 slices of bacon (I used 8 because I was making extra for the doggies) and saute them in 2 Tbls. of EVOO until half cooked.

Add 3 cloves of garlic (I like to grate it in because I don't like big chunks in it) and saute it with the bacon until they are both lightly brown.

Deglaze the pan with about 1/4 cup of dry white wine. Then add the following spices to taste: salt, pepper, basil and oregano. Next add 1 stick of butter and saute all flavors together - about 5 minutes.

Add tortellini to pan and turn over to coat each piece with the bacon, butter and spices.

Serve with grated cheese if desired... Bill likes it, I don't.

This received 6 out of 6 puppy tail wags... I knew the doggies would like the bacon, what I didn't know was that they would LOVE the tortellini. I swear they are part Italian. =)

So now all you have to do is sign our linky so we all can find your recipes. You check out all ours and we will check out all yours. If you don't want to write it all down and you know of one on line just post a link to it on your blog or leave it in a comment if you prefer!
