Tortellini Bella

My twist on Mushroom Ravioli, Twilight inspired.

4 Tablespoons Butter

4 Tablespoons Flour

3 Cups Milk

1 Clove of garlic chopped or minced

1/4 Cup Romano

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Two pounds of Tortellini or Ravioli

1 1/2 Tablespoons Butter

2 Portabella Mushrooms

Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil.

Rinse your mushrooms and spoon out the gills. In a saute pan melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter. slice your mushrooms thin and the chop into two inch long pieces. put them in the pans with the butter over medium low heat. Give them a shake and let them sit still while you make your sauce.

Basically your going to make a bechamel. Melt the butter in a saucepan add the garlic. Wait thirty seconds or so and then add the flour. Whisk it around a minute or two add your Milk and whisk smooth over medium low heat. Don't boil.!! Mix until your sauces starts to get thicken.

At this point shake your mushrooms they should be lightly caramelized. Lightly salt them. Drop your Tortellini in the water.

Pull your sauce off the heat and stir in the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain your torillini after it has floated for 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the sauce with the tortillini and add your sauted mushrooms.

Plate and garnish with cheese and a sprinkle of parsley if you've got it.

Mmm.
