Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Tortellini with Caramelized Onions

olive oil

yellow onions (large)

salt

08 oz mushrooms ((I used crimini mushrooms))

spinach

heavy cream

oz tortellini ((I used 3-cheese tortellini, refrigerated))

black pepper (when serving)

Peel the onions, wash them and thinly slice them.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add sliced onions and cook on high heat for about 10 minutes, constantly stirring with the spatula.

Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking the onions for 10 more minutes, continuing to stir, as onions brown even more without burning. At this point add a pinch of salt over the onions.

Continue cooking for 10 more minutes on medium or low heat, stirring occasionally to make sure onions don’t stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.

In total, you should have cooked onions for 30 minutes.&nbsp; Remove the onions from the skillet onto a plate.&nbsp;

How to caramelized onions (this can be done a day or 2 in advance):

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet on medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.&nbsp;Cook mushrooms for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring, until mushrooms are soft.

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and stir on low heat just until spinach starts to wilt.

Add back the caramelized onions.

Add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the mushroom and spinach mixture and bring to a quick boil. Immediately reduce to simmer.&nbsp; Keep stirring while the sauce simmers for a couple of minutes.&nbsp;

How to make the creamy sauce

Cook tortellini according to package instructions.&nbsp; &nbsp;Usually, that means to bring a large pot of water to boil.&nbsp; Add tortellini and boil for 7 to 10 minutes.&nbsp; Drain.

Add cooked and drained tortellini to the creamy sauce. Stir on low heat for a couple of minutes to reheat.

Top with cracked black pepper when serving.

Add tortellini
