Ingredients
  

300g fresh tortellini (cheese or meat-filled)

300g button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

250ml heavy cream

100ml vegetable or chicken broth

50g grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their juices.

      Make the Sauce: Pour the vegetable or chicken broth into the skillet and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Combine: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together until the tortellini is coated in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water or more broth to reach your desired consistency.

          Finish and Serve: Once combined, give it a taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and gently mix. Plate the tortellini in bowls, and garnish with freshly cracked black pepper.

            Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful main dish, enjoying the rich flavors and creamy texture of this comforting Italian classic!
