Cheesesteak Tortellini

This Cheesesteak Tortellini is the ultimate comfort food, combining the flavor of a Philly cheesesteak with the cheese-filled pasta. I take thin slices of beef sautéed with onions and green bell peppers, then I season with oregano for a bold and hearty base.

Meanwhile, cook the cheesy tortellini until al dente then tossed with a provolone cheese sauce made from a buttery roux, heavy cream, and shredded provolone.

This one-pan dish that delivers big flavor and comforting textures, perfect for weeknight dinners. Garnish with parmesan cheese for a satisfying meal that feels like a gourmet twist on a classic favorite.

Recipe Tips

For the best flavor and texture, sear the beef slices on high heat just until browned, then remove them from the pan before making the sauce. This keeps the beef tender and prevents it from overcooking while you build a rich, creamy base for the tortellini.
