Tortellini is my new favorite and go-to pasta these days. The reasons are very simple; I like the idea of dumplings, or something stuffed inside a beautiful and dainty package.
Tortellini is delicious and such an eye-candy, and more importantly, the little man in my house absolutely love tortellini. Put it simply, tortellini is my solution for quick, healthy and wholesome weeknight dinners, and picky-eater friendly!!
Other Recipes You Might Like
Previously, I made garlic shrimp tortellini and everyone loved it. This time around, I made creamy mushroom tortellini in a creamy sauce.
It’s packed with protein, rich and creamy. Every bite is utterly satisfying—the cheese-filled tortellini, the freshness of the ingredients, and the richness of the creamy , buttery and cheesy sauce.
This recipe is so good the dish tasted like it was straight from a fancy Italian restaurant, except that it’s budget-friendly and takes about 20 minutes to make.
To make the best and creamiest mushroom sauce, use equal portion of chicken broth and heavy whipping cream. Flavor it with some Parmesan cheese and you’ll want to lick your plate dry. Enjoy!

I made this for my mother and my adult daughter tonight. We all gave it a thumbs up! Very filling. Might add some crushed red pepper next time for some spice!
