Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water, adding a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook for 3–4 minutes until al dente. Drain and keep warm.
- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon, leaving 1 tbsp of fat.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 additional minute.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, eggs, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Reduce heat to low, add drained tortellini, and pour the cream mixture over it. Stir gently and cook for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Stir in crispy bacon and frozen peas, heat through for another 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes
Keep heat low after adding the cream mixture to prevent scrambling the eggs. For leftovers, reheat gently over low heat.
