Steps

  1. Buy tortellini (prefer meat or spinach).
  2. Bring water to a boil.
  3. Add salt to water only after boiling.
  4. Add tortellini in.
  5. Cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Drain water from the pot while keeping tortellini in.
  7. Add cooking cream and mix at medium heat until reduced a bit so it's more creamy.

  9. Mix in and let eggs cook using heat from the pot and tortellini.
  10. Serve on a plate. Add pepper, more salt if needed, and optionally, shredded cheese on top for extra creaminess.
