NEWS FLASH, I’M BROOOOOOOKE AS HELL!!!
This is most certainly going to be a comfort on a dime recipe, as everything here was roughly 10-$12ish dollars in total from the store and yields 2 of these portions (at least the tortellini, and the creamy garlic butter sauce), but I had some questionable looking applewood bacon and spinach left in my refrigerator… If I have any health problems, it was from that, not this dish.
Hope you enjoy!

Tips:
- Not gonna lie, I don’t have any tips for this one. It’s kinda straight forward
Steps:
Tortellini and Bacon Bits
- Step 1: In a pan set to medium, place in 3 pieces of applewood bacon, and cook until both sides are crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel when done
- Step 2: In a medium sized pot filled filled with water half way with a couple pinches of salt, turn the heat to medium and cook the tortellini as said on the instructions
- Step 3: Half way when the tortellini is finished, add in your spinach. Cook until the spinach softened, and the tortellini is done. Strain
Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce
- Step 1: In a medium pan, melt butter (and olive oil) over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute or until fragrant.
- Step 2: Stir flour, whisk for 30 seconds to make a smooth paste
- Step 3: Slowly whisk in milk, then heavy cream. Simmer for around 3-5 minutes stirring constantly until thickened.
- Step 4: Lower the heat and stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and herbs if desired.
- Step 5: Add in your tortellini, spinach, and some crumbles of your bacon. Toss it well, and serve! Hope you enjoy!
