Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
  • 4 cups zucchini noodles (or shirataki noodles)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. Prepare the Noodles:
    • If using zucchini noodles, spiralize the zucchini and set aside. If using shirataki noodles, rinse and drain them well, then set aside.
  2. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Prepare the Sauce:
    • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and combined.
    • Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
    • Add the shredded provolone cheese, stirring until melted and well incorporated.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine and Serve:
    • If using zucchini noodles, you can either add them raw to the skillet and let the heat of the sauce soften them, or quickly sauté them in a separate pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to the sauce. If using shirataki noodles, add them directly to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!
