1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef (or ground beef) and cook until browned. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove excess fat if using ground beef.

Cook the Tortellini:
Add the cheese tortellini to the skillet and stir to coat. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tortellini is tender and the sauce has thickened.
