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.
