Tortellini is bathed in a light tomato cream sauce, then tossed with bacon and peas in this easy tortellini recipe. Because this dish is so quick and easy, it makes a fantastic recipe for parties, holidays or just a nice family dinner. Try switching things up by using a different flavor of tortellini. I often make this with meat, chicken or mushroom tortellini instead of cheese tortellini.
