2 cups milk
1 cup shredded provolone cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Cook the tortellini:
Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Prepare the cheesesteak filling:
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef, onion, and green pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Make the provolone sauce:
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
