Cheese Tortellini with Butter, Mushrooms, and Crispy Sage
Description
Cheese Tortellini with Butter, Mushrooms, and Crispy Sage begins with boiling pre-packaged cheese tortellini until just tender. Meanwhile, fresh sage is fried in butter and olive oil until crisp and then set aside to preserve texture. Mushrooms and minced garlic sauté in butter develop a robust, earthy flavor with a golden exterior.
The drained tortellini joins the pan along with remaining butter, Parmesan cheese, and the crispy sage leaves. Tossing the pasta in butter and cheese creates a glossy coating that harmonizes with the mushrooms' savoriness and sage's herbal scent. Salt and black pepper season the finished dish lightly, maintaining focus on the butter-mushroom-sage combination.
This recipe serves 3-4 and is fairly rich, ideal accompanied by a fresh salad or lighter vegetable sides to balance the richness.
Ingredients
- 1 (20 ounce) cheese tortellini package refrigerated
- 1 tablespoon sage chopped, fresh
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil water for the tortellini and cook it according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, prep the mushrooms and the sage.
- When the tortellini is about 6-7 minutes from being ready (so a bit before you add it to the boiling water), add 1 tbsp of the butter and the olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the sage. Cook it for about a minute until it crisps up. Take it out of the pan and set aside.
- Add the mushrooms, garlic, and another tablespoon of the butter to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
- Add the drained tortellini, remaining butter, parmesan cheese, and sage to the pan. Toss until everything's nicely coated. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe serves 3 to 4 people; consider serving with a salad to balance richness.
