Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

Boil Water: Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.

Cook Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the boiling water. Follow the package instructions for cooking time (usually about 2-4 minutes for fresh tortellini and 6-8 minutes for frozen). Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms

Heat Olive Oil: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Add Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and tender.

Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Sauce

Add Cream: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir well to combine.

Incorporate Cheese: Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens.

Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

Mix Everything Together: Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce, gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly.

Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
