Ingredients

• 1 package (20 oz) cheese tortellini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 10 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 5 oz fresh baby spinach
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and browned.
6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the creamy sauce.
9. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

• Variation: Swap the mushrooms with sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor profile.
• Substitution: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version of the sauce.
• Serving Suggestion: Pair this dish with a simple green salad and crusty garlic bread for a complete meal.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to restore the creamy texture.
