Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook cheese tortellini until just al dente, then drain and set aside.

- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Notes
- Use ribeye for tenderness or sirloin for a leaner option.
- Substitute chicken or shrimp for steak for variety.
- Add spinach, kale, or mushrooms for extra nutrients and color.
- For a sharper taste, swap parmesan with pecorino Romano.
- Store leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat with added milk or cream.
