Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
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 minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Season the mixture with dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the cheese melt and the sauce thicken slightly.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the tortellini hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
