Made this for lunch today, and loved it! Made a couple of minor changes: I have always found it easier to chop the bacon before cooking it, rather than crumble it afterward. And I used pecorino romano cheese instead of parmesan, because that's what I had. Simple, quick, and delish. Thank you, Mr. Ginsberg, wherever you are!

I found it super easy to make and delicious. The only things that I did different was that I and grilled chicken. Then instead of 3/4 cup of heavy cream and paemasean cheese, I increased the amount to 1 cup. Since I wanted more sauce for the tortellini . My kids loved it and are begging me to make it again real soon. It's a keeper in my house for sure.
