How to Make Tortellini Shrimp And Vegetables With Spinach Basil Sauce

  1. Prepare all ingredients: chop vegetables, measure spices, and cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain tortellini, toss with a little olive oil, and spread on paper towels to cool.
  2. Lightly steam spinach (1-2 minutes), rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly. Steam asparagus (2-3 minutes), rinse with cold water, and drain.
  3. Combine chopped parsley, basil, oregano, and scallions; set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together white wine, sherry, bouillon granules, and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  7. Increase heat to high. Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute until pink.
  8. Add sliced mushrooms and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until mushrooms release their juices (about 3-5 minutes).
  9. Add red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes; sauté for 1 minute.
  10. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the parsley-basil mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  11. Add spinach and stir to combine.
  12. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
  13. Add cooked tortellini and asparagus; toss gently.
  14. Pour the wine-cornstarch mixture over the tortellini mixture, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  15. Stir in crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts.
  16. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  17. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese, a crisp salad, and garlic bread (optional).
