Ingredients
1 pound (450g) cheese tortellini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups (120g) fresh spinach
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onion and cook until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked tortellini and caramelized onions back into the skillet. Toss gently until well coated with sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the onions are thinly sliced for even caramelization.
Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preference.
Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
