  • 1 Colander
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced (any color)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups provolone cheese, shredded Can substitute with Swiss or mozzarella.
  • to taste fresh parsley for garnish Optional.

Instructions
 

  • Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables are soft.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  • Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked penne pasta and 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese. Stir until the pasta is evenly coated and the cheese has melted.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to your liking.
  • Serve the pasta in bowls, garnished with the remaining provolone cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a little heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the vegetables.
This dish can be prepared in advance and reheated; however, it's best enjoyed fresh to maintain the creamy texture.
Feel free to substitute the provolone cheese with Swiss or mozzarella if preferred.
