Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces White or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and golden brown.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the mushroom sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
