2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 c. dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

1/2 c. chopped parsley

8 oz. burrata cheese, at room temperature

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Cook pasta according to al dente package directions. Drain pasta.
Meanwhile, heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add bacon in an even layer. Fry until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon using a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate.
Return sauté pan with remaining bacon fat to medium heat; add garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add white wine; bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Turn off heat and toss together with tortellini, spinach, parsley, and Parmesan. Add burrata to the pan and spoon sauce over to warm the cheese.
Break up burrata using 2 forks and let it melt into the pasta. Serve tortellini immediately.
