Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) penne pasta (or rotini)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (or thinly sliced steak)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef (or steak slices) and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sauté vegetables: Add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
- Season and simmer: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- Add pasta & cheese: Stir in cooked pasta. Reduce heat to low, then add provolone and Parmesan cheese. Mix until cheese is melted and pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
For a more authentic experience, use shaved ribeye steak. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk or broth to maintain the sauce’s creaminess.
