Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until tender and al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened and caramelized. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, pour heavy cream, and stir gently. Gradually add provolone cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Add cooked tortellini and seared steak back into the skillet and toss until fully coated. Serve hot, garnished with extra provolone or parsley if desired.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, use freshly grated provolone and add cream cheese or a splash of pasta cooking water. For variations, consider using chicken or making it vegetarian with mushrooms and spinach.
