Tortellini with Creamy Butter Sage Sauce

Irish and I came across this recipe just the other day, it looked so good we decided to try it! And you know what?!? It was pretty good! When I make it again I think I will change a few things though. First I'll give the recipe, and then add what I would change for next time.



INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lbs fresh tortellini, cooked according to instructions (I used 4 cheese)
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, chopped ( just used the white ones that you put in the brown bag at the store)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (I used 5)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (I used 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (I used 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (I used 1 tsp dried)
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano (I just used pizza mozzarella...because that's what I had in my fridge)
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

Heat the oil in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat.
Sauté mushrooms until browned.
Add the garlic and cook for about 3 minutes more.
Add the butter to the pan and melt.
Add the cream and grated cheese and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and add the fresh chopped herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over the tortellini.

*Things I would do differently*
-I would at least double the mushrooms, they were soooo tasty and just soaked in the flavour!
-I would use LESS butter, we found it to be just a bit too much.
-I would like to try it with the Fresh spices and also use the Pecorino Romano
