Ingredients
- 16 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
Step 5
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently stirring to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet. Cover and let it cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Beefy Tortellini!
