Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
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.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently stirring to coat the pasta in the sauce.
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.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Beefy Tortellini!
