A delightful twist on a classic dish, this creamy tortellini recipe features a rich garlic mushroom sauce that pairs perfectly with the tender pasta.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms until they release their moisture and become tender.
Ensure the mushrooms are evenly sliced for consistent cooking.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine with the mushrooms and garlic.
Use a high-quality tomato sauce for the best flavor.
Stir in the heavy cream and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat before adding the cream to prevent curdling.
Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, then drain.
Salt the water generously for flavorful pasta.
Toss the cooked tortellini in the sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold the tortellini to avoid breaking them.
Serve the tortellini in bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Add a sprig of fresh basil for an elegant touch.
