1/2 cup butter, divided |
12 ounce can evaporated milk |

Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper in 1/4 cup of the butter until mushrooms are tender.
4. Remove from pan and keep warm.
5. In the same skillet, combine the milk and remaining butter.
6. Bring to a simmer.

9. Drain tortellini and place in a large serving bowl.
10. Stir in the mushroom mixture and the spinach.
