Philly Cheese One Pot Pasta Recipes

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PASTA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a deep, 12-inch nonstick skillet over MEDIUM heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until crumbled and browned. Drain off as much of the excess grease as possible and transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
• Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining oil, the onion and ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes until bell peppers and mushrooms begin to soften and garlic is fragrant. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet along with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic pepper. Cook, stirring, for a minute or two.
• Stir the uncooked pasta into the beef and pepper mixture. Pour in the beef broth and increase the heat under the skillet as needed to bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to LOW, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Stir the pepper jack cheese into the pasta and place the provolone slices in a circle over the top. Cover and cook until the cheese has melted and serve.

INSTANT POT® PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PASTA

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add 1 tablespoon butter, olive oil, bell pepper blend, and beef; saute until beef is browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan. Add flour, stirring to create a paste. Pour in milk, stirring constantly to keep from scorching. Allow sauce to thicken slightly. Add shredded American cheese and stir until well combined. Season cheese sauce with salt and pepper.
• Release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method. Unlock and remove the lid. Add sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, seasoned salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve beef mixture on top of the cooked farfalle, and top with the cheese sauce.
