Chicken & Cheese Tortellini Alfredo image

I first taste the wonderful combination of Alfredo sauce and pesto at a restaurant, and that inspired me to add all kinds of different flavors to Alfredo sauce. The basil pesto is still my favorite and I've used that combination in this amazing dinner.

Cheese tortellini with bacon, mushrooms, and peas in an Alfredo sauce. Not the lowest-fat dish around, but very easy and very tasty.

Provided by SHCMEOW

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup white wine
1 ½ pounds refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cups frozen peas
1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add bacon to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside, reserving drippings in the skillet.
  • Reduce heat under skillet to low. Add olive oil and garlic to drippings in the skillet. Cook and stir until garlic becomes aromatic, no more than 1 minute. Add mushrooms to skillet and sprinkle with kosher salt. Cook until mushrooms soften and turn brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add white wine to the skillet and simmer until mushrooms are cooked fully, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes. Add peas and continue cooking until tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain and set aside.
  • Add Alfredo sauce and black pepper to the skillet with the fully cooked mushrooms and stir completely. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add cooked tortellini and peas to the skillet and stir gently until well coated. Crumble cooked bacon slices on top and serve in bowls.
