Tortellini in mushroom cream sauce

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Honestly, this recipe contains a lot more ingredients than what the title suggests. The sauce is actually a delicious cream sauce based on cream cheese. It is easy to make yourself and you can experiment with different types of cheese. The basis of many sauces is the classic roux, which we then vary. For this dish you can use fresh tortellini, available in the refrigerator section of the supermarket. If you have more time, you can always make fresh pasta yourself. But if you don't have that, there's certainly no shame in using ready-made tortellini! tortellini mushrooms recipe
