  • 12 oz cheese tortellini fresh or refrigerated
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 oz Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Large skillet or cast-iron pan at least 12 inches
  • Colander
  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with water, salt it well, and bring to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until tender and then drain.
  2. Pat the steak pieces dry and season with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the steak tips in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream, scraping up browned bits to deglaze the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add softened cream cheese and cubed Velveeta, stirring until melted. Gradually whisk in Parmesan and mozzarella until thick and creamy.
  7. Stir in Italian seasoning and adjust the sauce with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 1 minute.
  8. Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Reintroduce the seared steak tips and heat through for about a minute.
  9. Plate the creamy tortellini and top with the steak tips, spooning extra sauce over.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan before serving hot.
