Philly Cheesesteak Pasta with a Twist 🧀🍝🌶️
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 cups beef broth or a flavorful vegetable broth
- 8 oz penne pasta
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 2 cups cooked, sliced beef or a suitable beef substitute
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
Instructions:
1. Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked to your liking, drain it well and set it aside for later.
2. In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté these colorful veggies for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and fragrant.
3. Introduce the cooked beef (or your chosen beef substitute) into the skillet. Allow it to warm through, stirring frequently. Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the spices.
4. Pour the beef or vegetable broth into the skillet, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to really meld the flavors together.
5. Next, fold the cooked penne pasta into the skillet. Stir gently to ensure each piece of pasta is well-coated with the delicious broth and vegetable mixture.
6. Gradually sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese into the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce. If the pasta seems a bit dry, add a splash more broth until you reach the desired creaminess.
7. Once everything is blended and creamy, take a moment to taste your dish. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Serve your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Pasta hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for an added touch of flavor and color. Enjoy!
