For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Italian seasoning to the meat mixture while browning. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese tortellini, such as spinach and ricotta or mushroom-filled, to customize the dish to your preference. If you prefer a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
