Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef 85% lean
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 yellow onion medium, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 oz short pasta such as rotini
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened and cut into cubes
  • 6 oz provolone cheese torn into small pieces

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Dutch oven

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper; cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking up the beef, until browned and it reaches 160°F.
  3. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in the beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, and pasta.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 to 14 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted.
  8. Stir in the provolone until melted.
  9. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes to thicken before serving.

Notes

For a smooth sauce, stir in the cheeses over low heat. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the pasta and creamy sauce may change texture. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free short pasta and verify that the Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.
