For the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta
  • 12 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 lb ground beef or shaved steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing the meat and veggies
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup 1 can

  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Cook cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Rinse with hot water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or shaved steak and brown thoroughly, breaking apart if ground beef. When fully cooked, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add diced green bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and simmer gently for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Step 5: Return cooked beef or steak to the skillet and stir to coat with sauce.
  6. Step 6: Add cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss to coat each piece in the sauce.
  7. Step 7: Sprinkle shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 3–5 minutes until cheese melts.
  8. Step 8: Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, cheesy Philly-inspired pasta.

Notes

Substitute ground beef with ribeye, chicken, or plant-based alternatives. Try different cheeses like sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack. Add mushrooms or banana peppers for more flavor. For a fresher sauce, swap cream of mushroom soup with homemade creamy garlic sauce. Store leftovers airtight in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently with added broth or cream if needed.
