- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 milliliters vegetable broth
- 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and released their moisture.
Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, and stir well to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
