directions

  • In a pot of boiling salted water, cook tortellini until just tender, drain, and transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Butter 2 1/2-quart casserole.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over moderate heat, add onion, garlic and mushrooms, and stir until vegetables soften and most of the mushroom liquid evaporates, 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour on top; stir 1 minute.
  • Gradually add milk, whisking rapidly, then add half-and-half and whisk until sauce thickens.
  • Add the wine, season with pepper, reduce the heat slightly, and whisk until sauce is smooth, 5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, add bleu cheese, and stir until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
  • Add the sauce and olives to pasta, toss until blended, and scrape into the prepared casserole.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the top and bake till bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
