Ingredients
- 12 ounces medium pasta shells
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to coat.
- Gradually stir in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Stir in half and half and shredded provolone cheese. Continue stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
- Add cooked pasta and stir to combine everything evenly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to minimize grease in the sauce.
- Provolone cheese gives the most authentic Philly flavor, but mozzarella can be substituted.
- Add mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
