1. Prepare the Tortellini:
Boil a large pot of water, adding a generous pinch of salt.
Cook the tortellini until al dente, according to package directions.
Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Mushrooms:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30-60 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Combine and Serve:
Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
