Beef & Parmesan Tortellini

Healthy Fact of the Day

Beef & Parmesan Tortellini is a hearty dish, but you can make it lighter while keeping the flavor intact. Swap ground beef for lean ground turkey or plant-based alternatives to reduce saturated fat. Using whole wheat or cauliflower-based tortellini adds fiber, while light cream or Greek yogurt can replace heavy cream for a lower-fat option. Boost nutrition by adding spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms, increasing vitamins and antioxidants. Opting for low-sodium beef broth helps control salt intake, making this dish a more balanced and wholesome comfort meal.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
