Firstly I scaled this to 6 serves as the pack of tortellini I had was over 600g and recommended for 4 and still adjusted ingredient amounts then to suit what I had on hand, using 550g large baby cap mushrooms [sliced], 3 heaped teaspoons minced garlic and 500ml liquid (whipping) cream and added 4 rashers of bacon [diced - fat and rind removed], with the mushrooms when cooking. I couldn't bring myself to process (I assume blend) the mushroom mix as I felt it would have been soupy and not to our taste, so I slowly reduced the cream to a good thickness and then added the mix to the cooked tortellini and put in a warm (140C fan forced) for 15 minutes to let flavours meld and then served with steamed vegetables. My apologies to you JuanCar for not reading your recipe more closely before tagging and thank you for posting.

I live in Madrid, Spain. I am the father of 2 kids, work as engineer, and I spend my spare time cooking, playing clarinet (at least learning) and enjoying jazz music.
Have you ever tried to be in the kitchen preparing something with "I've got you under my skin", or "I got rythm" for instance as background music?
I love surprising my guests with special dishes, and this site has been a great help for that.
