Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 8 oz Pasta (Fusilli or Penne) Ideal shape for holding the creamy sauce. Substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free options if desired.
Meat
  • 1 lb Beef (Ribeye or Sirloin) Tender and juicy; ground beef or chicken can be alternatives.
Vegetables
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers Use red, green, or poblano peppers.
  • 1 medium Onion Can substitute with shallots or sweet onions.
Sauce
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Forms the base of the creamy sauce, alternatives include Greek yogurt or vegan cream cheese.
  • 1 cup Beef Broth Vegetable broth is a substitute.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded Can experiment with provolone or mozzarella.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted water, cook your pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Meat: In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the Veggies: Toss in the thinly sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté until they become tender and aromatic—about 5 minutes.
Sauce Creation
  1. Create the Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese until it melts, then gradually add beef broth until creamy.
Combination
  1. Combine: Fold in the cooked pasta, ensuring everything is coated in that luscious cheese sauce. Melt in the shredded cheddar cheese for that ultimate cheesiness.
  2. Serve: Dish it up immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or additional cheese if desired.

Notes

Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for a vegetable boost. For spiciness, sprinkle red pepper flakes or slice jalapeños. For cheese lovers, mix different varieties or top with breadcrumbs for a baked version. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
