Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 lb steak (chopped into strips)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red and green, sliced)
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz provolone cheese (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté onions and bell peppers for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add chopped steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. In a separate pot, boil salted water and cook tortellini according to package instructions (3-5 minutes for fresh). Drain and set aside.
  4. Reduce skillet heat to medium-low, add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in provolone cheese until melted, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  6. Add cooked tortellini to the skillet and mix until coated in the sauce; cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or extra provolone if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute steak with mushrooms or firm tofu. Adjust spice level with crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
