Creamy Tortellini Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
1 (20 oz.) bag frozen cheese tortellini
1 (16 oz.) block Velveeta, cubed
6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
olive oil, as needed
parmesan cheese, grated, as needed
Preparation
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat and cook onions, stirring frequently, until caramelized. 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
While the onions caramelize, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta according to package instructions, or until al dente.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water, and return pasta to pot over medium-low heat.
Gently stir in cubed Velveeta, heavy cream and butter, then season generously with salt and pepper, and add in nutmeg.
Fold in caramelized onions and sprinkle in 1/2 crumbled bacon.
Transfer to serving bowls and serve hot, garnished with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
