Tortelloni

with Peas & Bacon in a Creamy Shallot Sauce

For this dish, our chefs pulled out a long roster of rockstar ingredients to serve up an incredible 20-minute feat of comforting deliciousness. It starts with tender XL tortelloni that you'll toss in a velvety sauce made with shallot, garlic, chicken stock, and a swirl of rich, tangy sour cream. Add extra-crisp crumbles of bacon and sweet green peas, and you’re instantly transported to a very special, very delicious place we like to call “pasta heaven.”

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

    Heat a medium dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.

    Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon. TIP: While bacon cooks, start prep.

  2. 2

    Wash and dry produce.

    Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Peel and mince or grate garlic.

  3. 3

    Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes.

    In the last minute of cooking, add peas to pot; cook until peas are bright green. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (1½ cups for 4 servings), then drain and return tortelloni and peas to pot.

  4. 4

    Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for bacon over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in stock concentrate and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings).

    Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 30 to 60 seconds. TIP: If your pasta isn’t done cooking yet, ladle pasta water directly from pot.

    Turn off heat; whisk in sour cream and cream cheese until well combined. Season with pepper.

  5. 5

    To pot with drained tortelloni and peas, add chopped bacon and shallot sauce; stir to combine. If needed, add splashes of reserved pasta cooking water until everything is coated in a creamy sauce.

  6. 6

    Divide tortelloni between shallow bowls and serve.

    Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
