Tortellini Al Forno (with A Kick)
  1. Heat Dutch oven on medium heat (5).

  2. Cook bacon (about 10 minutes or until browned). Remove to drain on paper towels.

  3. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.

  4. With Dutch oven still on medium heat, add basil and garlic. Stir and cook 1-2 minutes, taking care to not scorch.

  5. Add lemon juice and stir. Cook for 1 minute (which reduces the lemon juice liquid a bit).

  6. Add stock/broth and bring to a boil on high heat (watching closely).

  7. Add tortellini, reduce heat to low (2-3), and cook 10 minutes (uncovered).

  8. Turn off heat and add cream, cheeses, and spinach. Stir and let sit uncovered about 5 minutes to thicken.

  9. Crumble bacon over top and serve right away.
