Cheesesteak Tortellini in Rich Provolone Sauce

Instructions

1. Cook the Tortellini:
   • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:
   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
   • Add the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Make the Provolone Sauce:
   • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
   • Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
   • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the provolone and Parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth. Add Dijon mustard if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine Everything:
   • In the skillet with the cheesesteak filling, add the cooked tortellini and pour the provolone sauce over it. Toss gently to combine and heat through.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Enjoy your cheesy, flavorful meal!
