Tuscan Pasta with Tomato-Basil Cream

It's been awhile!  I am finally home after being gone 12 out of the last 14 days.  And the two days I was in town, I had an old college roommate visiting so I wasn't really home.  I'm excited to get back into the swing of things.  I have my next week of meals planned and shopped for and am ready to cook.  Also, my basil plant (which I used for this recipe) is still alive!  Barely, but it's looking better every day.  Yay!

This one is from myrecipes.com.  I bought the ravioli (what I bought was actually tortellini, same idea, just  a different shape) from Costco in the refrigerated section.  The brand was Olivieri and it was really good and a decent price.  I paid around $8 for the package and will be able to get four meals out of it.  The sun-dried tomato alfredo was from Vons and was the Safeway store brand, also very good.  I omitted the white wine.  I don't have white wine in the house and didn't think it would make that much of a difference considering it only asked for 2 tablespoons (which would really be only one tablespoon for me because of course I halfed the recipe).  Also, I added some crispy bacon to it because everything is better with bacon.

My version.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  It was really good.  A few days later, I used the leftover tortellini and added some sliced pepperoni, the same sun-dried tomato sauce, shredded cheese and breadcrumbs and baked it.  It was also yummy.  And so easy.
