For an even richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Add a splash of dry white wine to the mushrooms while sautéing for an extra layer of complexity. If the Alfredo sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a little pasta water. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake. For a protein boost, add grilled chicken or sautéed shrimp to the dish.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
Bring a large pot of salted water with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a rolling boil. Add the tortellini and cook until they float to the top and the filling is heated through, about 7 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large serving bowl.
02
Step
5 mins
While the tortellini cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the mushrooms have released their moisture, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushroom mixture with a slotted spoon and add it to the bowl with the cooked tortellini.
03
Step
10 mins
Drain any excess liquid from the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the half-and-half, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
04
Step
1 mins
Pour the luscious Alfredo sauce over the tortellini and mushroom mixture. Gently toss to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately in warmed bowls, garnished with freshly chopped thyme.
