Enjoy Cheesesteak Tortellini, a creamy and indulgent dish that combines classic cheesesteak flavors in a delightful tortellini format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sliced beef (substitute with chicken or mushrooms)
- 1 medium bell pepper (red or yellow for milder taste)
- 1 medium onion (yellow or white for great flavor)
- 12 ounces cheese-filled tortellini (use your favorite shape)
- 8 ounces provolone cheese (mix with mozzarella for brighter flavor)
- 1 cup heavy cream (replace with half-and-half for lighter touch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (can substitute with canola or avocado oil)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Add bell pepper and onion; sauté for another 4-5 minutes until tender.
- While cooking beef and vegetables, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions, around 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside, keeping a cup of pasta water.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in heavy cream and stir gently. Gradually add provolone cheese, whisking until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. If too thick, add reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.
- Fold the drained tortellini into the skillet, mixing well to coat with the sauce. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes over low heat.
- Serve portions on plates and garnish with chopped parsley or more provolone. Serve immediately.
