Ingredients

  • 350 g penne, rigatoni, or fusilli pasta
  • 350 g beef ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green or red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 100 g cream cheese, softened
  • 100 g provolone, mozzarella, or mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or mild chili powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 60 ml of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until just cooked through and tender. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and add the cream cheese. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
  6. Add the shredded cheese and stir until melted and creamy. If needed, add reserved pasta water gradually to reach desired consistency.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to blend flavors.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and extra cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting.
  • Add mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as cream sauces may separate.
