Method
- Cook penne pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned.
- Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
- Stir in provolone (or mozzarella) and Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Notes
For best results, shred your own cheese rather than using pre-shredded varieties for better melting. You can substitute ground beef with mushrooms for a vegetarian version, or use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter dish. The pasta shape can be changed to your preference - bowties or other short pasta work well too. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
