Happy Monday, everyone! Today, we’re treating ourselves to a rich and comforting meal - Tricolore Tortellini with Mushrooms in a Creamy Sauce. Perfect for those days when you want something hearty but easy to prepare. The blend of colorful tortellini, earthy mushrooms, and creamy sauce will surely lift your spirits!
Ingredients:
- 250g tricolore tortellini (or any tortellini of your choice)
- 200g fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or a mix), sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tricolore tortellini according to the package instructions, usually for about 3-4 minutes, until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
Sauté the Mushrooms: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Then, add the garlic and sliced mushrooms, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally and let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Combine: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce.
Serve: Once everything is well-mixed and heated through, plate your tortellini and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
There you go! This delicious and creamy dish is simple yet packed with flavor. Perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner to start the week on a tasty note.
