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!

Made it twice; amazing both times. Added some snow peas with the spinach and it added a nice crunch. Officially in regular rotation.
Absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this dish. Thank you so much. Definitely going to be making this regularly now.
Very tasty and it’s a really good recipe. Thank you I’m definitely sharing this with my family and friends. Plus I added shredded chicken to the mix and it was delicious.
We love it. It has become a fave. Easy & delicious. Thanks for the recipe!!!
This was sooooo good, it will definitely become one of our regulars since it’s also fairly quick and easy!
This was SOOO GOOD! This has become one of my go-to’s! Thank you for the simple and delicious recipe.
Loveeedddd ittt! I added chicken breast and coated it with Italian style shredded cheese and placed the pan in the over for about 10-15min (depending on how long you want it) and it tasted amazing!
My family and I loved this. Creamy and cheesy without being too heavy. The mushrooms added an earthiness that took the sauce over the top. We had this with the crispy baked chicken thighs. Great meal!
Rich, earthy (used baby portabellas), refined. Use shallots over onions. Very good outcome.
