Baked Tortellini

Ingredients

• Tortellini
• Parmesan Cheese
• Chardonnay
• Four Cloves of Minced Garlic
• Italian Seasoning
• Salt
• White Pepper
• Bacon or Pancetta Cut into Little Cubes
• Four eggs
• Two Cups of Heavy Whipping Cream

Procedure

1. You'll need a pot to boil your tortellini in, a skillet, a large bowl, and an oven safe dish. 
2. First crack the eggs into your bowl and beat them lightly. Then add about eight ounces of shredded cheese, the garlic, italian seasoning, salt, white pepper, whipping cream, and a splash of chardonnay to the eggs. Mix this.
3. In the skillet cook the bacon or pancetta. When it is thoroughly cooked splash some of the chardonnay into the plan to deglaze it. Then, add the egg and cheese mixture to the pan. Turn the temperature to about medium low. 
4. While this is cooking boil your pasta until al dente (spelling?) When the pasta is done add everything into the skillet and cook on medium low. When the cheese has melted put the pasta into the oven safe container. Turn on the broiler and put the pasta in the oven. 
5. Watch the pasta and when the top starts to brown it's almost done. Before it starts to turn dark brown take it out. Careful, it will be hot. 

Coke Marinated Ribeye with Pancetta Topping

Ingredients:

• Ribeye
• Coke
• Salt
• Pepper
• Pancetta (if you can't find pancetta you can use bacon)
• Mushrooms (I used cremini) 
• Oil (I used peanut)

Procedure

1. As far as the Ribeye goes you can use whatever kind, size, brand, or whatever that you want. I just bought a cheap cut of ribeye from my local Food-Lion. Now, what you want to do is put the ribeye in any kind of container that will allow it to lay flat. Then, pour Coke over it so that it just covers the meat. Next, let it sit for however long you are willing to wait to eat. The coke will tenderize the meat and give it a sort of sweet taste. 
2. In a skillet pour enough oil to just cover the bottom. Turn the heat to high until the oil begins to smoke and add the pancetta. Cook until the pancetta is crisp. Next, slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet. When the mushrooms are soft the topping is ready. 
3. Cook your ribeye until the desired "done-ness." I like mine to be medium-rare but it's up to you. 
4. When your ribeye is ready move it to a plate and add your pancetta topping and enjoy!
5. Oh yeah, and add the salt and pepper whenever you feel like it. For taste. 

I served mine with asparagus. 

Note: I made this during Hurricane Sandy so I couldn't grill it. What I did was use a cooling rack and a skillet. I turned the skillet on to medium and added some mushrooms and pancetta (like the topping) so when it smoked it will give it some flavor. The cooling rack became kind of a grill and I used it to cook my asparagus and my ribeye. Next to that is a 9x9 cooking tray. I put the meat in there to marinade it with the coke. Behind that is my topping. (I put it in the pancetta's plastic container so that I wouldn't have another dish to clean. This was an iffy idea because the plastic began to melt.) All in all the meal turned out great!
