Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min.
- Reserve 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) pasta water, then drain tortellini.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While the pan heats, thinly slice mushrooms.
- Thinly slice chives.
- When the pan is hot, add pine nuts to the dry pan.
- Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on pine nuts so they don't burn!)
- Transfer toasted pine nuts to a plate.
- Pat chicken breast tenders dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken breast tenders. Sear until tenders are golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** Transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
- Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. Season with pepper.
- Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and garlic puree.
- Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are coated and garlic is fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add 1 cup (2 cups) reserved pasta water, stock powder and cream cheese to the pan with mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until sauce is smooth and comes to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add tortellini and half the Parmesan. Cook, stirring gently, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. (TIP: If sauce reduces too much, add remaining pasta water to loosen.)
- Add spinach. Cook, stirring gently, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Season with pepper, to taste.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Divide tortellini between bowls.
- Arrange chicken breast tenders on top of tortellini.
- Sprinkle pine nuts, chives and remaining Parmesan over top.
If you've opted to add chicken breast tenders, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. After toasting nuts, reheat the pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken breast tenders. Sear until tenders are golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** Transfer to a plate. Use the same pan to cook mushrooms in step 4.
