Ingredients
- 1 pound chopped peeled butternut squash, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 12 ounces shiitake or oyster mushrooms, stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 9-ounce packages refrigerated cheese tortellini
- Shredded Parmesan cheese and finely chopped chives, for topping
Instructions
- Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450˚ F. Toss the squash, mushrooms, olive oil and a big pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread out on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing once or twice, until the vegetables are browned around the edges and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Combine the heavy cream, garlic, sage and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced by about one-third, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon lemon juice; add more lemon juice to taste.
- Add the tortellini to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain (reserve the pot).
- Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the reserved pot. Add the tortellini and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water; toss over medium heat until coated, adding a few more tablespoons cooking water as needed to loosen.
- Divide the roasted vegetables among shallow bowls. Spoon the tortellini and sauce on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan and chives.

Reviews
Absolutely delicious and easy to make. We used only cremini mushrooms based on what was available but this was so easy to put together and the hint of sage was perfect with the squash.
This was great! I think I would have given it 5 had it been a variety of winter squashes and not the mushroom.
We replaced the mushrooms with roasted parsnips and added shallot. It was amazing!!
Delicious! You can easily swap with any kinds of roasted vegetables. I didn’t have mushrooms on hand, so I used parsnips and carrots with the butternut squash and it was great.
