Ingredients
- 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt & 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 makes 3-4 servings. It is pretty rich, so I'd serve 4 but ensure there's other stuff to eat with it like a salad, or you could make 2 large portions.
