Pantry Pasta

Threw this together last night out of spare parts scavenged from the fridge and pantry and it turned out really good.


1 package cheese tortellini from TJs
1/4 cup olive oil
2 packs mushrooms, quartered (I only had one, 2 would've been better) I used the brown ones, any type would work.
1/2 jar kalamata olives, halved
6 cloves garlic, 4 minced or pressed.
Goat Cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Put on water for Tortellini.
Sauté mushrooms and two whole garlic cloves in 1tbs olive oil over medium heat, until the mushrooms release their juice. Add the olives toward the end. Discard garlic cloves. In another pan gently fry the minced garlic in the remaining oil until golden brown.

Combine everything in the pasta pot and mix well, season to taste.
Serve in bowls with goat cheese crumbled on top and maybe a drizzle of the good olive oil if you're feeling sassy.
