baci's baking - Tortellini with Mushrooms and Peas

Sorry I missed posting yesterday's baci's baking I attended Lillith for the first time - what a blast!! Anyway, I never want to leave you without a recipe, so here it is. . . just a little sometime I tweaked from a Barilla recipe on the back of cheese tortellini :o)

Tortellini with Mushrooms and Peas

1 (8 oz.) bag tortellini
4 T. (½ stick) butter or margarine
3 cloves of garlic, pressed
1 cup (8 oz.) half-and-half
5 oz. frozen peas, thawed

4 oz. canned mushrooms, drained
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1) Cook tortellini according to package directions.

2) While pasta cooks, heat butter in a large skillet.

3) Add garlic and saute over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.

4) Add cream, peas and mushrooms; heat to a boil. Reduce to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5) Add drained tortellini, mix well.

6) Add parmesan cheese, toss and serve.
