Indulge in a creamy and comforting dish with this easy recipe for Creamy Tortellini with Spinach and Mushrooms. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Creamy Tortellini:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/3 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 2 (9 ounce) packages refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Add the oil and butter to a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prep your mushrooms (I like to prep as I go to save time).
- Add the mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the pan. Continue sautéing for another 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, cream, and tortellini to the skillet. Give it a good stir and then cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and stir it. The tortellini will be cooked and the sauce should have reduced/thickened up a bit. Add in the spinach and stir continuously until it’s wilted (about a minute or two).
- Stir in the parmesan and season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can customize this dish by adding cooked chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spinach and mushrooms based on your preference.
