Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

4 cups fresh baby spinach

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the tortellini and cook them according to the package instructions until they reach an al dente texture. Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Incorporate the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Raise the heat to medium-high, then add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and their moisture evaporates.

        Add the Spinach: Next, stir in the fresh baby spinach. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the spinach has wilted down completely.

          Create the Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat back to medium. Pour in the heavy cream, gently stirring to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and the Italian seasoning, mixing well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes creamy.

            Combine Tortellini with Sauce: Carefully fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy mushroom and spinach sauce, ensuring that every piece of pasta is generously coated. Allow the dish to warm through for an additional 2 minutes, so the flavors meld together.

              Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the creamy tortellini to serving plates and garnish each dish with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy spinach and mushroom tortellini skillet while it's hot!
