What Do You Eat With Tortellini?
This dish is super hearty and filling and really is a meal in itself for us sometimes! If you have meat lovers in your house that need it, serve this with a side of Baked Chicken Thighs or even juicy Baked Chicken Breasts.  If you prefer beef try it with London Broil. It’s also great with your favorite french or garlic bread, a big green side salad or Roasted Green Beans.
Creamy Spinach Mushroom Tortellini:
A quick not to share with you guys that this is a repost! Yes, one of our most popular recipes of 2018 and we decided to repost it as new. There have been so many new faces around here over the last two years, it seemed like the best thing to do! To make this tortellini recipe you will start with boiling your water and cooking the pasta according to package directions. I used refrigerated tortellini, but, frozen is fine as well! While the pasta is cooking, you will saute your onions, garlic, and mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they’re tender. We absolutely love a good creamy pasta dish for a filling and simple weeknight dinner at our house! Especially when they’re easy!
By this point you can drain your tortellini and set aside. Then, season the vegetables and add the spinach into the pan. You will stir the spinach around constantly for 2-3 minutes until it is wilted.
Next, turn your heat to low and add the heavy cream to the pan. Then, stir in the parmesan until melted and add the pasta.
Tortellini:
Tortellini is a pasta that comes in the shape of a ring. Typically it is stuffed with some kind of cheese or meat mixture. For this recipe, I always use cheese tortellini. However, you can use the beef, chicken, or cheese version, they’re all great!
What Sauce Goes with Tortellini?
This recipe has it’s own simple cream sauce that is simply amazing, close to an Alfredo! Any kind of sauce is generally great with tortellini, everything from Homemade Pesto to Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce! For this recipe, the simple spices and cream sauce compliment the cheese filled pasta really well.
Enjoy!

Earthy, creamy, and a crowd pleaser. Used shallots instead of the onion, and it worked nicely. If you ordered this at a restaurant, you’d be over the moon. The fact that my 14-year old boy made it to perfection speaks to the perfect directions by our lovely food maven.
Just made this but used whole wheat penne because I thought I had tortellini but I didn’t! Also threw in some leftover roaster chicken I had on hand. Worked out great! We loved it!
This is a great recipe! My hubby loves it. I followed the recipe to the letter the first time I made it and it was great! The second time I made it, hubby wanted a little more sauce to I doubled the cream and parm. Thanks for a great, simple recipe that only took 30 minutes to make. The longest wait time was getting my water to boil to cook the tortellini.
Delicious!!
Loved this!! Definitely recommend adding red pepper flakes and some fresh basil for added flavor. Pairs perfectly with tortellini. Have made this twice now and my partner and I definitely prefer this to any pre-made Alfredo or white sauce we have tried!!
Absolutely delicious! I cooked shrimp with the onions, garlic and mushrooms and used a 10 oz bag of spinach. The water released from the mushrooms and spinach lighten the heavy cream. Served with crusty bread! Recipe is a keeper.
My picky 10 year old and the rest of the family loved it. Will keep and make again. Love that is simple enough for a quick weekday dinner.
Wow, super easy and fast and super good. This one is a keeper. Thank You!!!
Simple and delicious!
Delish! Family including 2 toddlers tore it up! Wonderful family friendly vegetarian meal.
Absolutely delicious
