1913. TORTELLINI with CARAMELIZED ONION and BACON

yields two servings


4 strips bacon, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups cooked tortellini
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp about 5 minutes. Remove to a towel to absorb excess bacon fat. Add the onion to the same skillet used to fry the bacon and cook until it turns light brown in color, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tortellini to the pan cook until heated through. Add the cooked bacon, parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowl and top with Parmesan cheese.
