Description

This recipe creates a rich and flavorful Beef Cheese Tortellini in a Sun-Dried Tomato Cream sauce, swirled with vibrant Basil Pesto. It’s a convenient yet impressive weeknight meal that elevates store-bought tortellini to restaurant quality.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g (14 oz) Ground Beef (Lean, Halal)
  • 200 g (7 oz) Aged Cheddar, Grated (Halal-Certified)
  • 400 g (14 oz) Fresh Cheese-and-Beef Tortellini
  • 250 ml (1 cup) Heavy Cream
  • 60 g (½ cup) Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Drained
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) Pine Nuts, Toasted
  • ½ tsp Smoked Paprika (Optional)
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Water for Boiling Tortellini

Instructions

  1. Boil Tortellini: Cook tortellini until al dente, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
  2. Brown Beef: Sauté ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add garlic and smoked paprika (if using) during the last minute.
  4. Make Sauce: Blend sun-dried tomatoes, cream, basil, salt, and olive oil until smooth.
  5. Combine: Add sauce to beef and simmer for 2 minutes, adjusting consistency with pasta water.
  6. Make Pesto: Blend basil, olive oil, pine nuts, lemon juice, and salt.
  7. Combine Pasta: Toss cooked tortellini with sauce.
  8. Serve: Swirl pesto over tortellini and garnish with pine nuts and basil.

Notes

Reserving pasta water helps create a creamy emulsion. Toasting pine nuts enhances their flavor. Using high-quality ingredients improves the overall taste.
