Creamy Tortellini with Ham and Mushrooms
Tortellini with Ham and Mushrooms in Creamy Sauce
During our last cook-together, my friend Pam made creamy tortellini to serve alongside Jac’s baked portobello mushrooms and my buffalo wings. As you can imagine, we had quite the feast! Pam’s creamy tortellini was so delicious that I had to cook it soon after the gathering, receiving two thumbs up from my family! My version is slightly creamier and wetter than Pam’s due to my family’s personal preference. If you love a gourmet tasting and looking pasta dish in under 30 minutes, this is the perfect recipe for you.

Pam used the Buitoni brand of ready-made tortellini (see photos on page 2) which eliminated the hard work of making the tortellini from scratch (totally suits my style of cooking hehe). This recipe will also work with ready-made ravioli. Thanks Pam for opening up her beautiful home and kitchen to us, and for sharing her yummy recipe. Can’t wait for our next cooking session!!
Creamy Tortellini with Ham and Mushrooms Recipe
- Serves: 2
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 15 mins
This is a really flexible recipe; you can easily adjust the consistency & creaminess of the sauce by tweaking the amount of chicken stock, cheese and cream.
Ingredients
- 140 grams refrigerated tortellini
- 20 grams butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 white/yellow onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 100 grams button mushrooms stalks removed, sliced thinly
- 50 grams ham diced
- 3 tbsp chicken stock
- 1 tbsp white wine
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp fresh thickened cream
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Cook tortellini in boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat butter and olive oil in pan. Fry onions until they start to become translucent (about a minute or two), then add the garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Add mushrooms. After 1 minute, add ham. Stir fry until the mushrooms are softened.
- Add chicken stock and white wine. Once the sauce is simmering, add cheese and cream; stir to mix well.
- Return cooked tortellini to the pan to coat evenly in the sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Ahhh, because I’m unable to take too much cream sauce, that’s why subconciously when I cook my pasta, it is mostly drier and less soupy. Next time must ask the guests which they prefer. Lolz.
hehe, but I like it both ways, but the other one at home likes creamy pastas – I even added a bit of cream to carbonara though that’s not “authentic” :P
It looks yummy! Thanks for the recipe :)
Btw, can I omit white wine? Or substitute with something else? We don’t drink wine regularly. Thanks
Hi Lili, you can omit the white wine, no need to substitute.
Hi
I saw that your self grate the parmesan cheese. Where can I get it cheapest in Singapore?
I’m not sure where to buy the cheapest in SG. I usually buy mine at either NTUC or Cold Storage.
I personally prefer a less creamy more liquid type of sauce so this seems like a perfect recipe to tweak! Those bits of ham in the first few photos are making me drool now since it’s a few hours to lunch…
Where can i find ready made tortellini or ravioli?
I got mine from Cold Storage, Singapore. Updated the information in the cooking notes.
Hi! I notice you use olive oil in yr cooking alot! Can u introduce any brand of olive oil to starters like me? Preferably not too expensive! Thanks!
Hi I am using the BORGES brand, got it from NTUC. I buy the 2litres bottle when it’s on sale, and re-bottle them to smaller 1 litre bottle for everyday use.
Hi!
Do you think we can replace the tortellini with spaghetti or other types of pasta? Would the taste be different?
Hi Jenn, yes I tried that before and it works – the result is similar to alfredo sauce. But you need to tweak and adjust from the above. I will feature the recipe in the near future :)
Hi Wiffy and all
I cooked this dish last Sunday, 29 Apr. My family enjoyed it very much. Yes, this is a creamy dish. I served together with Wiffy’s Chicken Caesar Salad (without chicken, I put in mango instead) and both blend very well… if your tummy says too creamy, take the salad and vice versa ;o).
Thanks Wiffy for sharing your wonderful recipes!

Hi Felicia, thanks for trying the recipes :) Caesar salad with mangoes sound good!
hey where can i get a bottle of white wine? thx…
hey,another question
can i replace the white wine with something else or can i not add the white wine to the creamy tortellini? thx
I think I have either added too much cheese, or my sauce is not enough. After adding the cheese, the ham and mushroom sticks together. I don’t get the creamy sauce. It turns out like dried noodle instead. But I’ll still try again~
Thanks for sharing~
