A creamy and delicious Mushroom Tortellini Alfredo that is perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and tender.

Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating spinach or sun-dried tomatoes into the dish.
- Substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream for a lighter version, or use a dairy-free cream alternative for a vegan option.
