→ Main Ingredients

01 - 450 g ground beef or steak strips
02 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 onion, diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 225 g cream cheese, softened
06 - 1 cup (approx. 100 g) shredded provolone cheese
07 - 340 g pasta (penne or rigatoni recommended)
08 - 240 ml beef broth
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

# Steps:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced green bell pepper, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and aromatic.
03 - Add ground beef or steak strips to the skillet. Sauté, breaking up the meat, until fully browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Stir in softened cream cheese and beef broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until cream cheese is completely melted and a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
05 - Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss thoroughly to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
06 - Evenly sprinkle shredded provolone cheese on top. Place under the broiler for 3–5 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden.
07 - Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot for best texture and flavor.

# Notes:

01 - For deeper flavor, opt for steak strips instead of ground beef.
02 - Substitute red or yellow bell pepper for a sweeter profile.
03 - Leftovers can be stored airtight and reheated in the oven or microwave.
