How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Boil the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Beef & Veggies

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, milk, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to low and stir in the provolone, cheddar, and cream cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the cheesy sauce. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld together.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Garnish with extra cheese or fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!

Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

• Use Thinly Sliced Steak: If using steak instead of ground beef, cook it quickly over high heat for the best texture.
• For a Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
• Make it Extra Creamy: Stir in a splash of heavy cream for a richer sauce.
• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to keep the sauce creamy.
