Ingredients

• 16 ounces cheese tortellini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 8 ounces button mushrooms
• 0.5 cup black olives, sliced
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.75 cup crumbled bleu cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the tortellini in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Thinly slice the button mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced black olives, heavy cream, and crumbled bleu cheese. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Combine the cooked tortellini and the sauce in a large bowl, mixing gently to coat the pasta evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
