Instructions

Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, stirring to loosen any steak bits left in the skillet. Then, add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Return the cooked steak to the skillet and fold in the spinach, if using.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Let everything simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a vegetarian option, skip the steak and use grilled vegetables or tofu.
Add extra veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for more texture and flavor.
If you prefer more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add sliced jalapeños to the sauce.
The spinach is optional, and you can substitute it with kale or arugula for different flavors.
If using frozen tortellini, cook it for an extra minute or two compared to the package instructions.
