Recipe #1

Tuesday night was the night! I got a 5 Ingredient Recipe Book for Christmas from my mom. She knew that I was going to need quick and easy dinners now that Mr. Owen was here! I found the following recipe:

TORTELLINI CARBONARA

1 package of refrigerated tortellini

8 bacon strips cooked and crumbled

1cup heavy whipping cream

1/2cup minced fresh parsley

1/2cup grated parmesan cheese

So, I loved the idea of this dish, but the recipe alone sounded a little bland and boring. So I did my own twist on it:

Cooked and crumbled the bacon; grilled fresh chicken in the bacon grease; removed the chicken and sauteed diced onion and minced garlic in the bacon and chicken renderings, added a jar of Alfredo sauce on low heat. Cooked a package of mini ravioli, topped with some sauce, crumbled bacon and grilled chicken. Freaking Delish- but rich, verrrry rich. And to top it all off- CHAD COOKED IT!!! : )
