PREPARATION TIME
Prep Time: 5 MINUTES
Cook Time: 15 MINUTES
Total Time: 20 MINUTES
Ingredients
13 oz cheese tortellini
salt – to taste
4 tbsp butter
⅔ cup sliced mushrooms
2 tsp minced garlic
¼ cup chicken broth – or cooking wine
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded parmesan – plus extra for serving
cracked pepper – to taste
chopped parsley – for garnish
Instructions
Cook the tortellini in salted water according to the package’s instructions, and set aside reserving a cup of the cooking water.
Add the butter to a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and stir until melted. Add the mushroom and cook until starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the wine and cook for a few minutes for the alcohol to bubble away. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan. Cook for another minutes, stirring until all of the cheese has melted.
Season to taste with salt and cracked pepper, and add the cooked tortellini and a splash of the reserved cooking water. Stir until the sauce coats the pasta and it has reached the desired consistency. Keep adding cooking water if you want a thinner, glossier sauce.
Serve with more parmesan and the chopped parsley.
Notes
Other types of filled pasta can be easily substituted. You need cheese tortellini for a really cheesy taste, but the sauce also works well with chicken and pork filled pasta.
Low sodium chicken broth can be substituted for the cooking wine.
This recipe does not keep well, but is easily halved.
