Directions
- Cook bacon in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, drain and discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Add garlic to drippings; cook 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce and water; stir. Bring to a boil over high heat; stir in tortellini. Return to a boil; cover and simmer over medium-low heat 6 minutes or until tortellini is tender, stirring gently after 3 minutes.
- Add cream cheese; stir until completely melted. Stir in bacon and peas. Return to a boil; simmer 2 minutes. Sprinkle liberally with pepper, if desired.
Cook's Tip
While any bacon will work in this recipe, smoky thick-sliced bacon produces the best results.
To substitute ham for the bacon, cook garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 1 cup diced ham with the tomatoes, tomato sauce and water.
Recipe may be prepared with refrigerated tortellini in place of frozen. Use a 20-oz package and increase water to 1-1/4 cups.

Yuck. I wish I had not believed the reviews that liked it. I should have trusted my instincts and followed the advice of the people who thought it tasted processed. I wonder if the people raving about it work for the company or are paid to do so. Canned tortellini is even better than this.

Because this had such good overall reviews, I figured I'd give it a try. I used all the ingredients exactly as specified (and yes, they were fresh) but it turned out bad, just plain bad. I tasted the sauce before I added the tortellini and it tasted like bland spaghetti sauce (not good, but not too bad), but after I cooked the pasta and added the cream cheese spread, it was terrible. The bacon and peas could not make up for the awfulness of the cream cheese.

Great combination/variety of flavors, textures, and colors. Sorry yours didn't turn out frida, maybe some ingredients were expired.

Waste of time and money. No one in family liked it. Has commercial processed taste. Nothing home-made in taste about it. Sorry, but, scrap this recipe.

It was delicious. Will make it again without a doubt. Had a lot of flavor and was great because it was something different.
