Chicken Meatballs With Tortellini In Mushroom Cream Sauce

My husband can't eat tomato-based sauces, so i was trying to come up with something for him to eat when we eat spaghetti. this was it -- the kids even liked it and hubby had to fight them for it! i didn't actually measure the amounts for the meatballs, except the chicken and egg, but i think these are pretty close. i prepared the meatballs earlier in the day, so this was easy to toss together at dinnertime.
