     Title: Skillet Tortellini w/Corn & Crispy Rosemary
Categories: Five, Pork, Herbs. past, Vegetables
     Yield: 4 servings

     4 sl Thick-cut bacon; sliced
          - across in 1/2" pieces
     5    Rosemary sprigs
     2 tb Unsalted butter
    20 oz Refrigerated cheese or
          -cheese & spinach tortellini
          Salt & black pepper
     4 c  Corn niblets; thawed

 Place the bacon, 4 of the rosemary sprigs and 1 tb
 butter in a large (at least 12") nonstick or well
 seasoned cast iron skillet. Set over medium-high. When
 sizzling, cook, stirring often, until the bacon is
 golden and the rosemary is crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn
 off the heat and use a slotted spoon or fish spatula to
 transfer the bacon and rosemary to a paper towel-lined
 plate.

 Drain all but about 1/4 cup bacon fat from the skillet
 and add the tortellini, arranging it in a single layer.
 Set over medium heat and cook, without stirring, until
 browned underneath, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups
 water, the remaining rosemary sprig, 1 teaspoon salt and
 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine, scraping up browned
 bits from the skillet. Cover with a lid or baking sheet
 and cook until the pasta is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

 Add the corn kernels, corn milk and remaining tablespoon
 of butter. Stir until the butter melts and glazes the
 pasta and the corn is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
 Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and
 pepper.

 Divide pasta among 4 plates or bowls, then top with the
 bacon. Crumble the fried rosemary needles over the
 plates by rubbing them between your fingers. Eat right
 away.
