Dishes like this are guaranteed to put on the winter weight but they are oh-so-good.This was easy to put together: store bought fresh tortellini and an easy to prepare sauce.
First, have on hand some fresh sage leaves, green onions (scallions) and mushrooms (I used boring white mushrooms since we had them on hand, feel free to use other varieties).
Melt 2 Tb butter and put in mushrooms, saute a bit until they begin to soften. Add a large sprig of sage leaves, salt & pepper and a spoonful (I just used jarred) of chopped garlic.
Saute on medium heat until the mushrooms are cooked to your liking, slightly browned.
Add a teaspoon of flour and toss it up.
Pour in approximately 1 cup of heavy cream. Allow to simmer and thicken up. Chop some green onion into the mix.
Meanwhile, cook the tortellini to your liking. I found 8 minutes to be a good time.
Remove sage leaves from sauce. Toss amount of desired sauce with pasta and grate fresh parmesan on top. Sprinkle with more snipped green onions.YUM!
This sauce can be used for all sorts of pasta. Next time I hope to have some better mushrooms on hand, though it was plenty flavorful with what I used.
