This Creamy Tortellini with Pancetta & Peas is a rich, comforting pasta dish that comes together in no time. Crispy pancetta, sweet peas, and a garlicky cream sauce envelop cheese-filled tortellini for a perfect balance of salty, savory, and fresh flavors. Finished with Parmesan and Asiago, this cozy one-pan meal is quick enough for weeknights but indulgent enough for guests.
