Description

Cheesesteak tortellini with provolone sauce is a delightful fusion of classic Italian tortellini and the beloved cheesesteak sandwich, featuring tender cheese-filled pasta in a rich, creamy provolone sauce with savory beef and colorful bell peppers.


Ingredients

  • Cheese tortellini: 400 grams (fresh or frozen)
  • Thinly sliced beef: 300 grams (such as ribeye or sirloin)
  • Bell peppers: 1 cup, sliced
  • Onion: 1 medium, sliced
  • Provolone cheese: 200 grams, shredded
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
  • Heavy cream: 1 cup
  • Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, then push veggies to the side and add the sliced beef, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned.
  4. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and gradually add shredded provolone cheese, stirring until smooth.
  5. Combine the cooked tortellini with the beef and sauce, tossing to coat, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
