Ingredients:
Caramelized Onions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 yellow onions large
1/4 tsp salt
Creamy pasta sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
08 oz mushrooms (I used crimini mushrooms)
8 oz spinach
1 c heavy cream
1/4 tsp salt
9 oz tortellini (I used 3-cheese tortellini, refrigerated)
1/4 tsp black pepper when serving
Directions:
For the Caramelized Onions:
Wash and peel the onions, then slice them into thin cuts.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.
Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the onion slices and cook for about 10 minutes or until they turn brown. Make sure to stir frequently.
Turn the heat down to medium, then cook for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle a bit of salt and stir until well mixed.
Reduce the heat to low, then cook for another 10 minutes. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet onto a clean plate.
For the Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the mushroom slices and salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Make sure to stir from time to time.
Add the spinach and stir until wilted completely.
Put the caramelized onions back to the skillet.
Add 1/4 tsp of salt and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir until well mixed. Allow the mixture to boil, then turn the heat down to low and simmer for a few minutes.
Refer to the directions provided on the package of the tortellini on how to cook it. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Put the cooked tortellini into the skillet with the sauce and toss until well coated.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper on top.
Serve and enjoy!
Note:
You can cook the onions prior to cooking. Place them in an airtight container, then place them inside the fridge. They can last up to 3 days.
