One Pan Creamy Tortellini with Butternut Squash Kale and Bacon
This is such a hearty and satisfying fall tortellini dinner! The flavors here all pair so well together. And bonus, it's all cooked in one pan so you don't have a mess of a kitchen to clean up afterward.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet (with tall sides) or a saute pan over medium-high heat.
2
Add bacon and cook turning occasionally until crisp, about ⏱️ 5 - 7 minutes. Press bacon up against sides of pan to drain rendered fat back into pan.

Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels while leaving drippings in pan. There should be 2 Tbsp (if not you can add a little olive oil).

*I recommend buying the poultry herb blend so you don't have to purchase both separately. You could try a heaped 1/4 tsp dried of each as a sub.
