Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound gourmet-blend mushrooms, such as yellow oyster, cremini, or shiitake, sliced
1 large leek, white and light-green parts only, halved, thinly sliced, and well washed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
3 cups packed baby arugula

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add leek; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 3 minutes.
