Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3–5 minutes until they are al dente. Drain the tortellini gently and set them aside.

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned. Make sure it reaches a nicely crisp edge for flavor.

Once the beef is cooked, add sliced onions and chopped bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, until onions are golden and peppers are tender.

Reduce heat slightly, pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Once heated through, sprinkle in shredded cheddar cheese. Stir for 2-3 minutes until melted and creamy.

Carefully add the cooked tortellini into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Mix gently for 2–3 minutes, ensuring everything is well-coated.

Taste and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of cheese.
