Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
- In a large skillet, heat over medium and add diced bacon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towel, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet with reserved bacon fat and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, avoiding burning.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Reduce heat to low. Add cooked tortellini to the skillet. Pour the cream mixture over and stir gently for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Fold in reserved bacon and thawed peas until evenly distributed and heated through.
- Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes
Ensure low heat when adding the cream mixture to prevent scrambling the eggs. Serve immediately for the best creamy texture.
