Chicken and Mushroom Tortellini image

Simply the smartest way to cook Tortellini, in the sauce! This is my 12 year old son's all time favourite recipe. It comes from Sandi Richard's Life's on Fire cookbook. As she assures, it might look watered down while you are cooking it, but it ends up just perfect when it is done. Creamy and delish!
