Cheese Tortellini with Mushroom Sauce
Description
Tortellini is great pasta to use for weeknight meals. It is super fast to make and can be paired with a number of sauces, vegetables, and proteins. I happen to love mushrooms, so this is one of my favorite ways to prepare tortellini. Serve this simple recipe with a fresh salad and some crusty bread. Yum!

This looks really good. Can you substitute other types of mushrooms for the sauce?

I have never tried it, but you could probably use Crimini or Porcini mushrooms. Button mushrooms wouldn't really add much flavor, but you could try those as well.
