Ingredients

• 12 ounces Cheese tortellini
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces White or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and golden brown.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the mushroom sauce.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
