Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 lb cheese tortellini
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Tortellini and Broth: Stir in the cheese tortellini and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the pasta simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is cooked through.
- Stir in the Cream and Cheese: Add the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Season: Add the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
- Serve: Ladle the pasta into bowls and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
- Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the pasta as it simmers and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to suit your taste.
- Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) before serving.
- Freeze Leftovers: This pasta freezes beautifully. Just let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
