Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce

1. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
2. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
3. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens (around 3–4 minutes).
4. Reduce heat to low and stir in provolone and mozzarella cheese until smooth and melted.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if desired.

Step 4: Combine Pasta, Steak, and Sauce

1. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the steak and vegetables. Toss to combine.
2. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta mixture. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
3. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 5: Serve

1. Transfer the Philly Cheesesteak Pasta to serving plates or a large serving bowl.
2. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for freshness and color.
3. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, meaty goodness!

Tips for the Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

• Thinly sliced steak: Freezing the meat for 20–30 minutes before slicing makes it easier to cut thin strips.
• Cheese choice: Provolone gives the classic Philly flavor, but you can mix cheddar or American cheese for a different twist.
• Veggie variations: Add mushrooms or red bell peppers for extra flavor.
• Make it spicy: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
