  4. Bring all ingredients to room temperature before starting to cook.
  5. Cook tortellini according to package directions.
  6. Drain, toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, and spread on paper towels to cool.

  12. Heat olive oil and butter in a wok or very large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  13. Add chopped onion, and cook for 1 minute.
  14. Add minced garlic, and continue cooking until garlic is fragrant and onions are slightly translucent.
  15. Increase heat to high, add shrimp, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
  16. Add both types of mushrooms and freshly ground black pepper, and continue cooking until the mushroom start to give up their juice.
  17. Add red bell pepper and tomatoes, and saute for 1 minute.
  18. Reduce heat to medium-high, and add parsley-basil mixture, combining thoroughly.
  19. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring and tossing constantly.
  20. Add spinach, and stir to combine.
  21. Add cream and Parmesan cheese, and stir to combine.
  22. Add tortellini and asparagus, and toss gently.
  23. Stir wine-cornstarch mixture, and pour over all.
  24. Add Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts, and stir gently to combine.
  25. Cook until thickened and thoroughly heated through, about 2-3 more minutes, stirring gently to coat everything with the sauce.
  26. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and more freshly ground black pepper.
  27. Pass more freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
  28. Serve with a crisp vinaigrette salad and hot garlic bread.
