How to Make Tortellini With Tomato Parmesan Mushroom Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to broil.
  2. Prepare Tomato Sauce: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Pour in the tomato sauce, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, partially covered.
  3. Prepare Parmesan Mushroom Sauce: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and green onions. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain well.
  6. Stir the drained tortellini into the Parmesan mushroom sauce.
  7. Pour the tomato sauce into a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
  8. Spoon the tortellini mixture evenly over the tomato sauce.
  9. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese.
  10. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
