Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package cheese tortellini
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and place into a 9-inch baking pan.
Heat canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir butter into the pan until melted; stir in flour slowly and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Pour milk slowly into the saucepan, stirring continuously. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until sauce begins to bubble, 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove saucepan from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour sauce over cooked tortellini in the baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce begins to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

To save time, use a pre-made Alfredo sauce. However, if you have the time, homemade Alfredo sauce is always best.
If you don't have any tortellini, you can substitute another type of pasta, such as penne or macaroni.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, zucchini, or mushrooms.
If you want a crispier casserole, top it with some grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
Serve the casserole immediately, while it's hot and bubbly.
