Tortellini with a pancetta cream sauce

I am having an international party at my house and plan to make Tortellini with a pancetta cream sauce. I will be using sternos to keep the tortellini’s warm because it will be for about 40 people and I am serving buffet style. My question is how is the best way to prepare this without the tortellinis getting too soft or dried out?

Thanks,
Nora

nhayden, would you share this recipe? It sounds like something I would like.

This sounds good. Why don’t you use the nutmeg?

I see, just a personal preference then.

This one sounds even better than the previous one.
