Ingredients
  

12 oz (340 g) cheese tortellini

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

      Add Spinach and Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, mixing well. Gradually add in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

          Season the Sauce: Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

            Combine Tortellini and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Heat for a couple of minutes until everything is warmed through.

              Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious creamy tortellini!
