Ingredients
Scale
- For the Beef:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- For the Tortellini:
- 12 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Drain excess fat from the skillet, then add the minced garlic and butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tortellini to the skillet, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the tortellini is tender and heated through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of cream if the sauce thickens.
- For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef and use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
