Ohio Sweet Corn & Bacon Tortellini



This is a recipe I made about a month ago, and am just getting around to posting, as the corn season winds down. It is great served hot, cold or room temperature!

Ohio Sweet Corn & Bacon Tortellini

4 ears of sweet corn, blanched and cut off cob
4 slices bacon
1 package fresh tortellini (I'm not sure of the size, I used the cheese tortellini from Trader Joe's)
1 onion, diced
2 tbsp basil, chopped fine
extra virgin olive oil
freshly shaved parmesan

Cut bacon into pieces, cook in 12 inch skillet or saute pan until crisp, remove, leaving 1 tbsp of fat in skillet. While cooking bacon, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the tortellini.

Add onions to skillet and cook until translucent. Cook tortellini while onions are cooking.

Add corn to the skillet with onions, as well as the basil. Once the tortellini is done, drain and add to the skillet and toss.

Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly shaved parm. Even better, make some garlic bread on the side.
