Many of the recipes that I share I get from online — then I do some tweaking to make it my own and bring it here. This is a recipe that I made and I’m now tweaking even more before I give it to you. Whoever originally made it must have done something completely different because I ended up with more noodles and not enough sauce.
So what I’m sharing with you today is “Sage and Butter Mushroom Tortellini” — it’s probably a new favorite.
I adore mushrooms, so I was trying to figure out what a good recipe would be to use mushroom and I found one with tortellini. Now, let me tell you where this recipe first messed up for me: originally the recipe called for a 25-ounce package of cheese tortellini. Well, the only one I could find was a 12-ounce bag so I got two.
This was my first mistake.
The recipe called for 7 ounces of mushrooms and I got 8 ounces because .. why not? I cooked the tortellini according to the directions on the package and cooked my mushrooms in a lot of butter and sage. Well, after I drained the tortellini I realized I’d made a mistake.
I had enough mushrooms and butter/sauce for two servings with the pasta … I had three more servings of pasta that were just there.
So I ended up eating the tortellini with normal pasta sauce which I will say is a downgrade from the mushroom and butter sauce thing I had for two of them. Now I’ve changed the recipe for you so you might not have the same issue and I added more garlic than was called for because … why not?
