Ingredients
12 oz cheese tortellini
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease and transfer the beef to a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth and heavy cream, letting the sauce thicken.
- Reduce heat to low, then stir in shredded provolone until fully melted and smooth.
- Add cooked beef back to the skillet and stir to combine. Toss in the drained tortellini and mix until coated. If needed, add reserved pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
