A wonderfully quick pasta dish: tortellini tossed in a creamy mushroom sauce with bacon, spinach and broccoli or tenderstem broccoli. Parmesan, garlic and basil bring plenty of flavour, and together with a splash of white wine and, of course, cream, you get a rich, creamy pasta sauce.
It’s hearty and packed with vegetables that work beautifully with the creamy sauce.
Dinner in under 30 minutes, full of flavour – and minimal washing up.
You choose the filling for your tortellini – I like to use spinach and ricotta.
You can serve this as a main course for 4 people, or as a starter – in which case this quantity will stretch to 6.

Hej
Kunne tænke mig at bruge den som en vegetar ret. Når jeg så undlader bacon, har den så samme gode smag, eller har du et andet forslag?
Tak for altid gode opskrifter

Hej Birthe
Prøv at erstatte bacon med 140 gram soltørrede tomater skåret i mindre tern, det giver masser af dejlig smag – perfekt alternativ 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Altid så LÆKKERT og TILFREDSTILLENDE at lave OG spise din Gud sommerlige mad!
✨❤️✨ Hvilke hvidvin bruger du smukkeste?✨❤️✨
Hej Tina
Tusind tak for din dejlige besked, – det er jeg så glad for at høre 🙂
Jeg bruger oftest en chardonnay, da det er det vi er mest vilde med herhjemme, og altid har i huset 😉
Men en hvilken som helst hvidvin, så længe den er til den tørre side.
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hold nu op en lækker ret. 🙂 Det bliver bestemt ikke sidste gang, den bliver serveret herhjemme 🙂 Tusind tak for endnu en lækker opskrift, din side er guld værd.
