The ingredients for My Bulgarian Friend's Pasta are:

1 pkg. Buitoni Refrigerated Pasta, Three Cheese Tortellini
6 slicesTurkey Bacon
Onions, 1 small - diced
Olive Oil, 1tsp
Mushrooms, 6 medium - sliced
Fat free half and half, .5 cup
Thyme, ground, .5 tbsp

Here is how you make My Bulgarian Friend's Pasta:

Cook the pasta per directions. Meanwhile, in a cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet cook the turkey bacon. Once it is cooked remove from pan and let drain on a paper towel, crumble it once it is cool. In the same pan, add the olive oil to the bacon drippings and over medium high heat add the onion. (Optional: I throw a pinch of salt over the onions as it helps draw out their moisture.) Once the onions are halfway to being cooked, add in the mushrooms and continue cooking. The mixture should be very brown and caramelized looking when it is done, add the thyme and stir through. Then add the half and half. Once heated, add the bacon back in. By this time the tortellini should be done so drain that and toss into the skillet with everything else. Serves 2Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WAZZU.REN.
