A one-skillet, one-pot, under 30-minute dinner...cozy winter flavors that melt in your mouth!
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain onto a paper towel. Add the broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the broccoli is crisping on the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss the broccoli, add the olive oil, and cook another 2-3 minutes, until crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet to a plate.
3. To the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, cooking until the butter begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, oregano, thyme, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Cook one minute, then pour in the wine. Simmer 2-3 minutes. Add the cream and cream cheese. Whisk until smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook 5 minutes, until thickened slightly. Stir in the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in the tortellini and cook 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
4. Divide the tortellini between plates and top with charred broccoli, and bacon. Eat and enjoy immediately.
