Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté until they begin to release their moisture and turn golden, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Add the frozen peas to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
