TORTELLINI WITH MUSHROOMS & PEAS

There are a ton of pasta recipes that are light, have subtle flavors, and are absolutely delicious. Here's just such a recipe for Tortellini. In this recipe, the pasta sauce consists of some sautéed mushrooms, peas, and some chicken stock. That means it's a very simple, and very fast, sauce, and a fast and easy pasta recipe, that you can easily make after getting home from work. And while it's filling and satisfying it won't weigh you down. Hope you love this tortellini recipe as much as I do.Recipe Overview & Keys to SuccessTo make the best Tortellini with Mushrooms and Peas, try to make sure you do the following:Over cooked tortellini will ruin this pasta recipe. It turns mushy, and a bit gross, so I pull the pasta out about a minute before the package suggests, and finish the tortellini in the sauce.The mushrooms on the other hand, I like to make sure are well done. Undercooked, I don't much care for the texture of mushrooms, and I don't think the flavors are concentrated enough. Start cooking them first as they will take the longest (about 15 minutes0, and cook the mushrooms until almost all the water is evaporated out, and they are nicely browned on all sidesThe chicken stock, combined with the olive oil/butter, is what makes the pasta sauce, and you shouldn't skimp. There should be enough sauce to well coat all the tortellini. Fortunately, if it ever looks dry, it's easy to just add a bit more.RECIPE FOR TORTELLINI WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEASIngredients (for 2) 1 package cheese tortellini3/4 cup crimini mushrooms chopped1/3 cup frozen peas1 cup chicken stock1 teaspoon chopped rosemary1 garlic clove minced1 shallot minced1 strip bacon chopped1 tablespoon butter2 - 3 tablespoons of good olive oilTortellini with Mushrooms & PeasStart by sautéing the mushrooms over medium high heat in olive oil; season them with salt and pepper, and toss every 3 - 4 minutes until well cooked through; about 15 - 20 minutesOnce cooked, remove the mushrooms and add the bacon to the pan.

Add the frozen peas and cook everything over high heat, and season with salt and pepperCook for a few minutes, tossing every 30 seconds or so; if the tortellini looks dry add more stock to the sauceTurn the heat off, and add the butter, and parmesan cheese; toss to combineServe up the Tortellini with a bit more parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.Wine Recommendation: With Italian food, I love Italian wine, and while there are probably many white varietals that would go very well with the Tortellini, I think the addition of the mushroom and rosemary allow you to go bigger. Barbara would be my pick. Generally it's a pretty easy drinking red without a ton of tannin, and good acid, making it a nice paring wine.
