If you want to make something different with brussels sprouts, especially during the holiday season, this is the right recipe to try! You just can't go wrong with brussels sprouts, bacon, tortellini, and the creamy sauce!
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cut of the stems of brussels sprouts; cut each brussels sprout in half. Add brussels sprouts to boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove using slotted spoon.
In the same pot of boiling water, cook tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain.
Add cooked brussels sprouts, half of the chopped, cooked bacon, heavy cream and ¼ teaspoon salt to the large skillet. Bring to boil. While constantly stirring, add shredded Parmesan cheese into boiling heavy cream, keep stirring until the cheese starts to melt coating brussels sprouts and bacon. Reduce heat to simmer and keep stirring, making sure the cheese does not stick to the bottom of the skillet. Gradually add milk to thin out the sauce and stir it in.
