Ingredients

• 450 grams Cheese tortellini
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 200 grams Cooked ham, diced
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for sautéing)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the cooked tortellini and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the diced cooked ham and cook for 2 minutes to warm through. Transfer the mushroom and ham mixture to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Return the mushroom and ham mixture to the skillet, stirring to combine. Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce and gently toss to coat. If needed, use the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the Ham and Mushroom Tortellini Alfredo immediately, garnished with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.
