Save A hearty pasta dish inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak featuring tender beef sauted peppers and onions and a creamy cheese sauce tossed with pasta.
I recreated this dish after enjoying Philly cheesesteak sandwiches with friends in Philadelphia. The flavors remind me of city trips and good company at dinner time.
