Ingredientes

  • 1 package meat tortellini
  • 200 ml natas
  • 1 small can mushrooms, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 30 g grated cheese, plus extra for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instruções

  1. Boil the tortellini in salted water according to the package. Drain and save a small cup of pasta water.
  2. While the pasta boils, melt butter in the frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add the drained mushrooms and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the natas. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  5. Toss the tortellini into the sauce. Add the grated cheese and stir gently. If it's too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
  6. Serve with extra cheese on top.

Notas

Portuguese natas makes everything better. This sauce also works beautifully on chicken or pork. One saucepan for pasta, one frying pan for sauce — quick cleanup. Chef Simão recipe #6 — Le's fridge-clearing mission continues! 🍝
