Servings:4 servings
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.
