Ingredients 

  • 1 Package Tortellini
  • White Sauce Butter, Flour, Milk
  • 1 cup peas
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 1/2 bunch Asparagus
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Drizzle EVOO over asparagus and let sit. After you finish the rest of the meal, saute a few minutes so asparagus is cooked, yet crunchy or β€œAl Dente!”
  • In large saucepan, cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain.
  • In large skillet, cook bacon on medium-high until crunchy. Set aside on paper towels. Pour off most of the bacon fat. Save a little in the skillet to use for the white sauce.
  • To make white sauce, add 2 T butter to bacon fat. Stir in 2-3 T flour. Add 2 cups milk and whisk, whisk, whisk. Turn heat to medium and let bubble. Sauce will thicken as it cooks through.
