Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
14 oz crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth (halal certified)
9 oz refrigerated or frozen cheese tortellini
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil for garnish
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.
Drain any excess fat from the pot if necessary.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the cheese tortellini. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the tortellini are tender.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until combined.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Notes
Ensure the beef broth is certified halal. You can substitute spinach for the basil for added nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, add a small splash of broth or water as the tortellini tends to soak up liquid.
