Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Pasta:

  • 12 oz pasta penne or rigatoni works best
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms optional but recommended
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

  • Start by boiling your pasta in salted water according to the package directions. You want it al dente since it’ll cook a bit more when mixed with the sauce. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Beef and Veggies

  • In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add your ground beef (or steak slices) and cook until browned. Toss in the onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook until the veggies are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

  • Push the beef and veggies to one side of the skillet. In the empty space, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for about a minute, then slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

Step 4: Add the Cheese

  • Lower the heat and start adding the shredded provolone and mozzarella, one handful at a time. Stir until the sauce is smooth and cheesy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Step 5: Combine Everything

  • Finally, toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the beef, veggies, and sauce. Stir well to coat every bite in that creamy, cheesy goodness.
