Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 lb sliced beef (like sirloin)
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced onions
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Brown the Beef: Add sliced beef to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until beef is cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir. Gradually add the provolone cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
- Combine Everything: Add cooked tortellini back into the skillet, tossing everything to coat the pasta in the sauce.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve Hot: Turn off heat and serve immediately, garnishing with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
