Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1½ cups provolone cheese, shredded
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Combine flour, eggs, and salt in a bowl. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
  2. In a sauté pan, cook the ground beef until browned. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic; cook until softened. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let cool down.
  3. Roll out dough thinly on a floured surface. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or glass.
  4. Place a teaspoon of filling on each dough circle. Fold and pinch the edges to seal, forming tortellini.
  5. Boil salted water and cook tortellini until they float, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  6. In a saucepan, melt butter; whisk in flour until golden. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously until thickened. Stir in provolone cheese and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper.
  7. Toss cooked tortellini with the sauce until well coated. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
