FAQs:

  1. What ingredients are needed to make Philly Cheesesteak Pasta?

  2. How do I cook the steak for this dish?

Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside while you cook the vegetables.
  3. Can I use other types of pasta for Philly Cheesesteak Pasta?

    • Philly Cheesesteak Pasta pairs well with a side of garlic bread, a simple green salad, or steamed vegetables like broccoli or asparagus. It’s a hearty dish on its own, but these sides complement its flavors nicely.
