- 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini recommended)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz provolone cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside. - Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell pepper and onion; cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. - Cook the Beef:
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add ground beef or steak strips to the other side, cooking until browned and fully done. Mix beef and vegetables together. - Prepare the Sauce:
Sprinkle the mixture with flour and stir. Gradually add beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce while stirring. Simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. - Add the Cheeses:
Reduce heat to low. Stir in shredded provolone and cream cheese until melted and smooth. - Combine with Pasta:
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet to coat evenly with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. - Serve:
