Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
- Boil the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Beef and Vegetables
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or thinly sliced steak. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the Cream and Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Combine with Pasta

- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Serve
