Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Tortellini
- Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Searing the Steak
- While the tortellini is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season your steak with salt and pepper, then sear it on both sides for about 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
Preparing the Sauce
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the cracked garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the garlic.
Combining Ingredients
- Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or additional cream.
- Toss the cooked tortellini in the sauce until well-coated. Slice the steak into thin strips and layer it on top of the tortellini.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
For healthier alternatives, consider using whole wheat tortellini, gluten-free pasta, or plant-based steak alternatives. Adapt to fit dietary preferences while preserving flavors.
