Easy Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Tortellini

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat

Once hot, add the pre-sliced mushrooms in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook the mushrooms until they are lightly browned, approximately 4 minutes on each side. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and transfer to a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms and transfer to the plate with the cooked mushrooms.

Reduce heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet, followed by the finely chopped shallots. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves, and sauté for 1 minute more.

Add the white wine to the skillet and scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Allow wine to come to a simmer.

Add the vegetable broth and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the liquid reduces by half.

Add the spinach to the pot and continue to cook until spinach is wilted and fully cooked.

Slowly add the heavy cream to the pot and stir to combine. Remove from heat (do not bring to a boil). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cook the store-bought cheese tortellini according to the package instructions, then transfer cooked tortellini to the pot with the mushrooms and spinach. Gently stir to combine.

Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
