Ingredients
- 1 lb. cheese-filled tortellini
- 1 cup thinly sliced beef like sirloin or roast beef
- 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup provolone cheese shredded
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté until softened—about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Brown the Beef: Push the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the thinly sliced beef. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat, and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add in the shredded provolone cheese while stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss until well-coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
