Instructions

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Stir in beef broth, uncooked pasta, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 12–15 minutes until pasta is tender.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in shredded provolone (or mozzarella) and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

Add crushed red pepper flakes or pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.

Sliced mushrooms can be added with peppers and onions for extra heartiness.

Stir in a dash of Dijon mustard with the broth for a tangier flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat with a splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.
