Description
Creamy, garlicky, and rich, this dish pairs tender beef and crisp broccoli with plump cheese tortellini in a silky Parmesan sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 lb beef (sliced thinly)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, shaking off excess water.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
