Tortellini with Tomatoes, Bacon, and Cheese

Tortellini with Tomatoes, Bacon, and Cheese

Serves 2.

1 pkg. cheese-filled tortellini

1 clove garlic, minced

2 wedges Laughing Cow cheese

4 fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped (or 2 cans diced tomatoes, drained)

3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fill a pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil; cook tortellini according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat garlic and Laughing Cow cheese wedges over medium heat. As garlic becomes fragrant and cheese begins to melt, add tomatoes, and cook through, about 5-10 minutes. Add cooked and crumbled bacon and Parmesan cheese; stir to combine flavors.

When tortellini is finished cooking, drain and add to sauce. Toss to coat evenly.

Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
