Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Philly Cheesesteak Pasta is ideal for busy weeknights because most of the preparation can be done while the pasta cooks. It also uses familiar ingredients and can easily be adjusted depending on what you have in the refrigerator.
The secret to getting the best flavor is to avoid rushing the beef and vegetables. Allowing the onions and peppers to soften and caramelize gives the finished dish a deeper, more savory flavor.
Ingredients
12 ounces pasta, such as penne, rigatoni, or rotini
1 pound thinly sliced beef steak, such as ribeye or sirloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt, plus more for the pasta water
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Step-by-Step Method
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until just al dente.
Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. This starchy water can be used later to loosen the sauce if it becomes too thick.
Drain the pasta and set it aside. Avoid overcooking it because the pasta will continue cooking slightly when it is added to the sauce.
