Instructions

Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and aromatic.
Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
Return the cooked beef and tortellini to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with portobello mushrooms or another hearty vegetable.

You can experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or parmesan.

If you like heat, add red pepper flakes while sautéing the vegetables or hot sauce at the end.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or broth to loosen up the sauce if needed.
