Creamy Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Name: Creamy Philly Cheesesteak Pasta
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Ingredients: 1 package Kroger beef shaved steak; 1 lb penne pasta, cooked al dente and drained; 1 green bell pepper, sliced; 1 medium onion, sliced; minced garlic, to taste; 2 tbsp butter; 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream; 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; Worcestershire sauce, to taste; Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning, to taste; garlic salt, to taste; black pepper, to taste; garlic powder, to taste; onion powder, to taste

Philly cheesesteak flavors turn into a full pasta dinner fast when shaved steak, peppers, onions, cream, and cheese all hit the same skillet.

The beef shaved steak cooks first so it can brown and break apart before the sliced onion and green bell pepper soften right into it. Worcestershire sauce adds that savory steakhouse flavor, while Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb, garlic salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder season everything from the start.

Once the vegetables are tender, garlic, butter, heavy whipping cream, Parmesan, and mozzarella turn the skillet into a creamy cheesy sauce that wraps around the penne. Adding the pasta al dente lets it finish cooking right in the sauce, so it soaks up all that beef, pepper, onion, garlic, and cheese flavor.

Big bowls of this are rich, creamy, beefy, and loaded with cheesesteak-style flavor without needing hoagie rolls or a separate sauce.

Ingredients

The base of this recipe starts with Kroger beef shaved steak, sliced onion, and green bell pepper cooked together in a skillet with Worcestershire sauce and a full round of seasonings. The minced garlic goes in after the vegetables soften so it stays flavorful without burning.

Butter, heavy whipping cream, shredded Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and al dente penne pasta finish the dish. The pasta continues cooking in the sauce while the Parmesan thickens everything and the mozzarella melts in for a creamy cheesy finish.

How To Make Creamy Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Step 1: Cook Beef

Add the beef shaved steak to a large skillet over medium-high heat and begin cooking, breaking it apart as needed.

Step 2: Add Onion and Bell Pepper

Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet.

Step 3: Season

Season everything with Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning, garlic salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4: Add Worcestershire Sauce

Add Worcestershire sauce and continue cooking until the beef is cooked through and the onions and peppers are tender.

Step 5: Add Garlic

Once the vegetables have softened, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 to 60 seconds.

Step 6: Add Butter

Add the butter and let it melt into the beef and vegetables.

Step 7: Add Heavy Cream

Pour in the heavy whipping cream and season the sauce with another shake of Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning.

Step 8: Add Pasta

Add the al dente penne pasta and stir everything together.

Step 9: Add Parmesan

Add the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring and cooking until the sauce is creamy and the pasta is fully cooked and tender.

Step 10: Add Mozzarella

Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and stir until completely melted and everything is creamy and well combined.

Step 11: Serve

Serve hot and enjoy.

Recipe Variations

Add mushrooms with the peppers and onions for a more loaded cheesesteak-style pasta. They cook down into the beef and give the sauce a deeper savory flavor.
Use provolone instead of mozzarella if you want a more classic Philly cheesesteak flavor. It melts into the sauce and gives the pasta a stronger cheesy bite.
Add red bell pepper along with the green bell pepper for extra sweetness and color. The mix of peppers makes the skillet look better and adds more vegetable flavor.
Stir in a little cream cheese if you want the sauce even thicker and richer. It melts into the heavy cream and helps the pasta get extra creamy.
Top each serving with extra Parmesan or parsley before serving. The Parmesan adds salty flavor while parsley gives the creamy pasta a fresh finished look.

Tips for Success

Cook the beef shaved steak first so it has time to brown before the cream and cheese go in.
Add the garlic after the peppers and onions soften so it does not burn in the hot skillet.
Use pasta cooked al dente so it can finish cooking in the sauce without getting mushy.
Stir the Parmesan in before the mozzarella so the sauce thickens and coats the pasta evenly.
If the sauce gets too thick, stir in a small splash of heavy cream or reserved pasta water to loosen it back up.
Taste before adding extra garlic salt because the Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan, mozzarella, and seasoning all add saltiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different kind of steak?

Yes, thinly sliced ribeye, sirloin, or another shaved steak can work well in this pasta. Kroger beef shaved steak is convenient because it cooks quickly and breaks apart easily in the skillet. Just make sure whatever steak you use is sliced thin so it stays tender.

Do I have to cook the pasta al dente first?

Yes, cooking the pasta al dente first helps it finish in the creamy sauce without turning too soft. The pasta continues to absorb flavor as it cooks with the beef, peppers, onions, cream, and cheese. If the pasta is fully cooked before adding it, it may get softer after stirring in the sauce.

Can I use a different pasta shape?

Yes, other short pasta shapes like rotini, rigatoni, shells, or bowtie pasta will work. Penne is a great choice because it holds onto the creamy sauce and mixes well with the sliced steak and vegetables. Avoid very tiny pasta shapes because they may not hold up as well in the thick sauce.

How do I keep the sauce creamy?

Keep the heat controlled once the heavy cream and cheese are added so the sauce does not reduce too quickly. Stir often while adding the Parmesan and mozzarella so they melt smoothly into the cream. If the pasta sits and thickens, a splash of cream, milk, or pasta water can bring it back.

How should I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The pasta will thicken as it sits because it continues absorbing the sauce. Reheat gently with a splash of heavy cream, milk, or broth and stir until creamy again.
