Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Instructions

Cook Pasta: Boil pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté until softened.
Cook Meat: Add ground beef or steak strips to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked.
Combine Ingredients: Stir in cream cheese and beef broth until creamy. Add cooked pasta and mix well.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle provolone cheese on top. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Choosing the Beef: For the most authentic flavor, opt for thinly sliced steak strips. Ground beef is a great alternative if you’re looking for convenience.
  • Pasta Types: Use penne or rigatoni for the best texture, as their ridges hold the creamy sauce well. Gluten-free pasta can be used without compromising flavor.
  • Cheese Substitutions: While provolone cheese is traditional, mozzarella or Monterey Jack can also be used for a milder flavor.

  • Prep Ahead: Dice vegetables and soften cream cheese in advance to save time.
  • Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños if you prefer a spicy kick.
  • Reheating Tips: Leftovers can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of beef broth or reserved pasta water to maintain creaminess.
