Equipment

  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 skillet
  • 1 kitchen knife
  • 1 garlic press
  • 1 wood spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 diced medium onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8-10 small/medium sliced mushrooms
  • 12 oz frozen broccoli
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 bag frozen tortellini
  • 1/2-1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Spices

  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating up your skillet on medium heat. Once your skillet is heated toss in your butter and melt it.
  • After your butter is melted, add in the minced onions. Wait just a couple of minutes then add in the garlic. This is just how I do it, you can add them both at the same time if you prefer.
  • Once your onions are tender you want to add in the cream cheese, stirring constantly as you add. Then once that gets a good creamy consistency add in the heavy cream and milk.
  • Turn the heat up slightly then toss your spices in and stir well. Your sauce should be pretty creamy at this point.
  • Next, add in your sliced mushrooms and frozen chopped broccoli. Add in 1/2 cup of the chicken broth. Give that a good stir to combine. Let simmer for few minutes then turn the heat down to a medium low.
  • Add in the frozen tortellini. Again, give it a good stir to combine. You want the sauce to completely cover all the things. Slowly add in more chicken broth if needed. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes.
  • Preheat your broiler. Once you are happy with the thickness of your sauce top your one skillet dish with shredded mozzarella. Pop it in the broiler for 5-10 minutes. This will not take long.
  • When the mozzarella is a beautiful golden brown on top of your creamy mushroom broccoli tortellini take it out of the oven. Let is rest for a few minutes then it's ready to serve.
