Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz mushroom tortellini
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium, finely chopped shallots
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tsp yellow curry powder
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the mushroom tortellini according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the tortellini aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and combined.
Add the finely chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices, releasing their full flavor.
Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted.
Season the curry cream with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the sauce, ensuring all pieces are coated. If the sauce is too thick, use reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to adjust the consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the tortellini with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve the mushroom tortellini in curry cream hot, accompanied by garlic bread or a side salad.
