Ingredients
  

1 package (9 oz) fresh cheese tortellini

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they become tender and golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Make the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped spinach to the cream mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Then, add the drained tortellini to the skillet. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.

          Serve: Toss gently to coat the tortellini and vegetables in the creamy sauce. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.
