Beef Tortellini Alfredo: A Rich and Hearty Pasta Delight

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes). Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Keep stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If it becomes too thick, you can add a bit more cream or milk to reach your desired consistency.
Cook the Tortellini:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the beef tortellini according to the package instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini, or 8-10 minutes for frozen).
Drain the tortellini and set aside.
Combine Everything:

Add the cooked beef to the Alfredo sauce, stirring to combine.
Gently fold in the cooked tortellini, ensuring each piece is coated with the creamy sauce and beef mixture.
Serve:

Serve the Beef Tortellini Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or cracked black pepper for added flavor and color.
