My creamy tortellini recipe is very simple and delicious. This type of pasta cooks quickly and you can add a number of ingredients to it. In this case, I made it with bacon and creamy tomato sauce. Tortellini is one of my favorite pastas because other than being easy to make, it’s also ideal for a dinner during the week for the family or a special dinner with friends. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. An avocado salad and a glass of wine are perfect additions to this dish.
