Step 1: Cook the Pasta
- Boil Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.
- Sauté Onions and Peppers: Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Step 3: Cook the Beef
- Add Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Create the Sauce
- Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow to cook for about 3-5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded provolone cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
- Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it well in the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for Success
