Tortellini with Pancetta & Gorgonzola Cream (serves 4)

Looking for a recipe that's super delish and easy to make?  Oh, and looks like you've spent hours in the kitchen?  Then, try my tortellini with pancetta & gorgonzola cream sauce.  It takes about 30 minutes, from start to finish, and is as perfect with company for dinner as it is on one of those "Oh crap!  I forgot to take something out for dinner!" nights.

Enjoy!


2 packages of refrigerator tortellini (or 1 bag of frozen) 
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Garlic, chopped
½ cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup Gorgonzola cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp Pancetta, cooked, chopped

Cook tortellini as per the package instructions.  Drain and set aside.

In a sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat.  Add garlic and sauté till it begins to turn light brown.  Add white wine and deglaze pan.  Add heavy cream, Gorgonzola cheese, and Parmesan cheese.  Reduce heat to a simmer until cheese melts and ingredients are all incorporated.  Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Add tortellini to sauce and stir to combine. 

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with pancetta.
