Cook the Tortellini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the tortellini.

Cook the Bacon/Pancetta
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or pancetta until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

Combine Everything
Add the drained tortellini to the skillet with bacon/pancetta, stirring to coat in the fat. Quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, stirring rapidly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
