Step one

In large saucepan or Dutch oven set over medium heat, cook bacon for 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towel–lined plate. Reserve 15 mL drippings; drain saucepan.
Step two

Add garlic to saucepan; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce and 125 mL water. Bring to a simmer; stir in tortellini. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes or until tortellini are tender.
Step three

Add cream cheese; stir until completely melted. Stir in bacon and peas; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until heated through. Season with pepper, if desired.

Tips

While any bacon will work in this recipe, smoky thick-sliced bacon produces the best results.

Substitute ham for the bacon: cook garlic in 15 mL olive oil and add 250 mL diced ham with the tomatoes, tomato sauce and water.
