Creamy Spinach Mushroom Tortellini With Caramelized Onions: An Incredible 5-Step Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 package (9 oz) fresh tortellini
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cups baby spinach
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your very own Creamy Spinach Mushroom Tortellini With Caramelized Onions:

1. Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. Sauté the Mushrooms and Spinach: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Then, add the baby spinach and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini and caramelized onions back into the skillet. Toss gently to coat the tortellini in the creamy sauce and heat through for about 2 minutes.
