Portobello & Basil Cheese Tortellini

This is so yummy.  And Ava ate ALL of her dinner tonight... BEFORE everyone else finished.  That is monumental.  I told her that I would make this every week if she would eat like that!

The original called for twice as much basil, but I liked it how we made it.  This is from Simple and Delicious.
