Tortellini with Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups frozen cheese tortellini
• ( 1/3 of a 16-ounce bag)
• 2 garlic cloves sliced
• 8 ounces fresh shitake mushrooms
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon cold butter
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Instructions

1. 1
   If you find fresh tortellini, you can use that instead of frozen; cook in a pot of boiling salted water until the pasta floats to the top, about three minutes.
2. 2
   In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook tortellini according to package instructions; drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender, about 7 minutes.
3. 3
   Add 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add tortellini, Parmesan, butter and parsley. Toss to coat; serve.
