Creamy Tortellini

1 6 oz. pkg. of cooked ham, cut into small pieces
1 16 oz. heavy whipping cream container
1 small can sliced mushrooms (or fresh ones if you prefer that)
2 tsp. pepper
a dash of salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 pkg. of frozen tortellini or packaged dried tortellini (either works great)

Melt the butter in saucepan(medium heat), add onions and saute until the onions are silvery. Add the pepper and and cooked chopped ham. Stir a couple of times. Add the heavy whipping cream and turn to medium-high heat until the sauce starts to boil. Stir and remove from stove.

Boil water in pot (note: if you try to boil water, it goes quicker if you add the salt right before it starts boiling instead of at the beginning; it takes much longer to boil if you add the salt earlier than later!) and add the tortellini to the water once water is boiling. Cook for roughly 10 minutes.

Serve tortellini sauce over tortellini! Tastes great with bread and salad as side dishes!

Note: This dish can be cooked very quickly!
