Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Tortellini
Description
This recipe begins by heating olive oil in a skillet to sauté diced onions until softened and lightly browned. Chopped portobello mushrooms and minced garlic are added next along with Italian seasoning and thyme, cooking until the mushrooms release moisture and soften. A splash of dry white wine deglazes the pan and cooks down briefly. Heavy whipping cream is then introduced and brought to a bubbling simmer, creating a creamy base for the sauce. Fresh baby spinach is stirred in and covered to wilt in the hot sauce. Cooked fresh cheese tortellini is folded into the creamy mixture, followed by the addition of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The final dish is seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and served immediately for a warm, melty pasta experience with savory mushroom depth and bright spinach freshness.

- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 cup onion diced

- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated

Instructions

- Add the mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for approx. 5 min.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add white wine and allow it to bubble and cook for about a minute before adding heavy cream.
- Add the cream and bring to a vigorous bubble. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Stir in spinach, cover the pan, and cook for approx. 3 minutes until spinach has wilted and sauce is nice and hot. Lastly stir in the parmesan cheese and cooked tortellini. Give it a taste and adjust salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Cook for an additonal minute or so to reheat tortellini and enjoy right away while it's hot and melty!
- TIP: If this dish sits too long the tortellini like to drink up the sauce, so try to chow down once its done or keep veggie sauce and tortellini seperate until ready to serve. Garnish with additioanl parmesan cheese if desired and enjoy!
