Best ways to enjoy it
When it comes to serving your Cheesesteak Tortellini, consider a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the dish. You could even top it with sliced jalapeños for a kick or drizzle with hot sauce if you like heat. Plating the tortellini in a shallow bowl will showcase the melty cheese beautifully — a true feast for the eyes!
Storage and reheating tips
To keep your leftovers fresh, allow the dish to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing the tortellini. When reheating, ensure it’s warmed through evenly in the microwave or on the stovetop. Always reheat until steaming hot to ensure food safety!
Helpful cooking tips
For an extra layer of flavor, try searing the steak with a little garlic powder or using a blend of cheeses like mozzarella and Parmesan alongside the provolone. If you’re short on time, pre-cooked steak strips can work well, saving you a bit of cooking time!
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Swap the provolone for a sharp cheddar or use a mix of your favorite cheeses. For a lighter version, opt for grilled chicken and whole wheat tortellini. Top with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an aromatic finish.
