Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta:
  • In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  1. Cook the beef:
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or thinly sliced steak) and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  1. Sauté the vegetables:
  • In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  1. Combine beef and vegetables:
  • Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the flavors combine by cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  1. Make the sauce:
  • Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the cream cheese until it’s fully melted into the sauce.
  1. Add the cheese:
  • Gradually stir in the shredded provolone (or mozzarella) until melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
  1. Combine with pasta:
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is coated with the cheesy sauce.
  1. Serve:
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a true Philly cheesesteak flavor, use thinly sliced ribeye steak instead of ground beef.
  • You can add mushrooms or extra vegetables for more flavor and texture.
  • To spice it up, add a little crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
