Ingredients

• 16 ounces cheese tortellini
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté until they begin to release their moisture and turn golden, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced ham and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Add the frozen peas to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.

Step 8

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
