How to cook deliciously - Tuscan Tortellini Skillet Bake

1. Stage

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in 1 tablespoon salt. Cook tortellini, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water before draining. In colander, drizzle tortellini with tomato oil and toss to coat.

2. Stage

Place pancetta in a cold, large, heatproof skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden brown on all sides, about 12 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes and grape tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until grape tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream and pasta water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted. Add spinach and tortellini and stir until spinach is wilted.

3. Stage

Preheat broiler to high. Top skillet with mozzarella. Broil, watching closely, until cheese is melty and starting to brown in some spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Top with red pepper.
