spiele party kennenlernen This stuff is already filthy rich and then I added bacon and I basically went into a delicious cheese covered bacon coma.
buy provigil from canada I think if I was to become a vegetarian, (don’t worry, Dad. I won’t) I would probably miss bacon the most.
If I was a pig, I’d probably be a cannibal. Weird thought.
One of the things on my culinary bucket list (yeah. I totally have one of those) is that I want to learn how to make my own ravioli and tortellini someday.
Those little kids on Master Chef Jr. make it look so easy…
I have so many dang things I want to learn how to make. It will take me a lifetime to master all of them. That’s one of my favorite things about cooking. It is a place where I can constantly challenge and stretch myself.
There is always something new to learn.
I used to think culinary school would be fun, but then I imagine myself burning in Hell’s Kitchen whenever I think about it.
Gordon Ramsay could just look at me and I would melt into a giant puddle on the floor.
It was like the time my family lived in Germany and I took tennis lessons from an instructor that only spoke German. I did not speak German. But he always sounded angry. I felt like I was living this youtube video.
I now officially suck at tennis.
- 16 ounces broccoli florets (about 4 cups cooked)
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 12 ounces cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- Steam the broccoli until tender, keep warm and set aside.
- Using a large skillet or griddle, fry bacon over medium/high heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel. Roughly chop and set aside.
- Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Before draining the tortellini, scoop out 1/2 cup of cooking water and set it aside. Toss cooked tortellini with tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Keep warm.
- In a deep, large frying pan over medium/low heat melt butter.
- Add garlic and salt and pepper, cooking until fragrant. Stir about every 2 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk together cream and flour in a small bowl so no lumps remain. Pour the cream mixture into the pan. Turn the heat up to medium high and bring to a simmer, stirring often.
- Once it has reached a simmer, slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese. Cook another minute or two, stirring constantly.
- Turn heat down to low. Add the broccoli, tortellini and bacon. Slowly stir with a wooden spoon to coat everything in the sauce.
- Once the sauce thickens, remove from heat and serve. If the sauce becomes too thick for your liking, slowly stir in the reserved pasta water.
For all I know, he was saying extremely nice things.

OMG what a totally scrumptious combination of ingredients. I was in before the bacon, and then . . . wow! Seriously, my wold family will love this!
Thanks, Valentina! It’s definitely not the skinniest of meals š
I’m always looking for new ways to use Broccoli and this recipe looks simply divine. I would love to try and I can almost taste it looking at your pictures š
Thank you so much, Molly!
Well, first of all I understand having ankle weights — my first two were 13 months apart. Those were the days when I had lots of energy. And our family are carnivores – pure and simple. Love, love, love meat. Your recipe sounds delicious and not to plug anything — but we have a total tutorial on making your own ravioli. My gosh it is so simple to do — you’ve got to do it. This fall we’ll turn into a veritable ravioli factory cranking those delicious morsels out š I love your tasty yet simple recipe!!
Marisa! Can’t wait to check it out. 13 months apart?! How did you do it? I’ve got a toddler and one on the way in July. I have a feeling two is going to rock my world. You are superwoman!
Yum! I love bacon and broccoli together. This looks like such a luscious weeknight meal.
Luscious is a great word to describe it. Thanks, Lucy!
