This One-Pot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta is a comforting and easy-to-make dish that combines the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak with tender pasta. Ground beef, sautéed onions, and bell peppers simmer in savory beef broth with pasta, all topped with melty provolone cheese for a creamy finish.

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ¾ cup sweet onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 3 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta and Cheese

  • 2 cups pasta shells, uncooked
  • 6 slices provolone cheese, chopped

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary to avoid greasiness.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
  3. Add Liquids and Pasta: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Add the uncooked pasta shells, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Simmer Pasta: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the chopped provolone cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top if desired and serve the pasta hot for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the dish.
  • Worcestershire sauce adds depth of flavor; you can substitute with soy sauce for a different twist.
  • Be sure to stir occasionally during simmering to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom.
  • Provolone cheese is key for the authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor; mozzarella can be used as an alternative.
  • For added heat, consider adding red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
