Ingredients
  

500g fresh tortellini (preferably cheese or spinach-filled)

250g fresh champignon mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

250ml heavy cream

200ml vegetable broth

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)

50g Parmesan cheese, grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes for fresh tortellini. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.

    Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced champignon mushrooms and cook until they’re golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

      Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion to the skillet, stirring until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.

          Combine: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

            Season: Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Divide the creamy tortellini among plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
