Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 red bell peppers
3 (16 ounce) packages refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (12 ounce) package bulk Italian sausage
1 (8 ounce) beef short loin steak, diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
3 cups chopped spinach
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
¼ cup butter
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups 2% milk
1 (6 ounce) package grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and steak; cook and stir until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon basil and 2 teaspoons thyme. Add spinach, mushrooms, and 1 clove garlic; cook until mushrooms are softened and sausage is no longer pink, about 5 minutes more.
Remove and discard skins from the cooled peppers; mince the flesh. Melt butter in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add peppers, remaining garlic, and cream cheese; whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and remaining basil and thyme.
Mix sausage into the sausage and steak mixture. Toss in drained tortellini.

Tips:

Choose the right sausage: Use a high-quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. Sweet or spicy sausage can be used, depending on your preference.
Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked through before adding it to the sauce. This will help prevent the sauce from becoming greasy.
Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: A good Alfredo sauce is essential for this dish. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own sauce, use heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, and garlic.
Add the tortellini at the end: Add the tortellini to the sauce just before serving. This will prevent the tortellini from becoming overcooked.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
