- 2 cups beef broth 🥣
- 1 cup milk 🥛
- 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini works well) 🍝

- Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened 🧀
📝 Instructions:
1. Cook the Meat and Vegetables:
- Brown the meat:
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or steak slices and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add vegetables:
- Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
2. Add Liquids and Pasta:
- Pour in liquids:
- Add the beef broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Add pasta:
- Stir in the pasta, making sure it’s submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
3. Add the Cheese:
- Stir in the cheese:
- Add the cream cheese, shredded provolone, and mozzarella. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Adjust seasoning:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
4. Serve:
- Garnish:
- Optionally, sprinkle some fresh parsley or green onions on top for added flavor and color.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Pasta hot, and enjoy the delicious blend of cheesy, savory goodness.
🍽️ Tips:
- Add mushrooms: For extra flavor, sauté some sliced mushrooms with the bell peppers and onions.
- Cheese options: Substitute provolone with cheddar or American cheese for a different twist.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to maintain creaminess.
