Ingredients

1 lb cheese-filled tortellini (fresh or frozen)
1 lb ground beef
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Gradually whisk in the grated parmesan until melted and smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken.
Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini and browned beef to the sauce. Stir gently until evenly coated.
Assemble the Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. For a crispier top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
