Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Light Mushroom Tortellini Alfredo.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, gently add the tortellini and let them cook uncovered.
Step 3
Give them a stir now and then, and watch for them to float to the surface—this usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes, and that’s when you know they’re ready! While the tortellini are cooking, grab a skillet and melt some butter over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté them until they’re tender and golden, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 5
Just before they’re done, add in the minced garlic and let it cook for another 30 seconds until it fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 6
Once that’s done, transfer the mushroom-garlic mixture to a small bowl and set it aside for later.
Step 7
Now, in the same skillet, pour in the evaporated milk and warm it over medium-low heat.
Step 8
Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a smooth, creamy sauce that’s simply irresistible.
Step 9
When the tortellini are cooked to perfection, gently add them to the skillet and toss them in the luscious sauce until they’re well coated.
Step 10
For the finishing touch, sprinkle the sautéed mushroom-garlic mixture on top before serving.
Step 11
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
