Ingredients

  • 9 oz. tortellini *see notes
  • 9 oz. sliced mushrooms *see notes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic 3 cloves
  • 1/4 cup white wine *see notes
  • 1 heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese finely grated.
  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional

  • 1 tbsp truffle oil white or black
  • parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  • While you are making the mushrooms and cream sauce, boil your tortellini according to the package instructions and drain when finished. Note: Add salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to your pasta water so the tortellini does not stick.

Sautéed Mushrooms

  • Lightly season the sliced mushrooms with salt and pepper.
  • In a large sauté pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, melt in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 8 – 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a plate or a bowl and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Cream Sauce

  • Use the same pan to make the sauce, do not wipe it down. Add the wine to the pan to deglaze it, and simmer for about 1 minute. Add the last 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until butter is completely melted and garlic is fragrant, whisk to combine.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer and keep at a simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low then add the parmesan cheese to the pan and whisk quickly to combine, just heating through. Stir in the cooked tortellini and sautéed mushrooms. Optional: Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of truffle oil and stir to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra parmesan cheese if you would like. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • I used refrigerated 3 cheese tortellini. You can use the tortellini of your choice.
  • You can use any type of fresh sliced mushrooms or jarred mushrooms. 
  • I used Sauvignon Blanc but any dry white wine works. Chardonnay and pinot grigio are both good options. If you do not want to use wine, you can use chicken broth as a substitute.
  • If you would like to thicken the sauce, you can add an additional 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese.
