Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2 (8 ounce) packages cheese tortellini (such as Barilla)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced shallot
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
1/2 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place porcini mushrooms in a 2-cup measuring cup; add enough hot water to measure 2 cups. Let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Coarsely chop porcini mushrooms.
  • Cook tortellini in large pot of boiling salted water per package directions. Tortellini should be just tender but still firm to the bite. Stir occasionally while boiling.

  • Add mushrooms and 3 tsp thyme; saute 2 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 cup mushroom soaking liquid and cream; boil until thickened to light sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Drain tortellini; return to same pot. Add mushroom mixture and toss to coat.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer tortellini to bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 tsp thyme.
  • Serve immediately.
