This Easy Philly Cheesesteak Rigatoni Pasta is perfect for when you need a delicious meal that’s quick to whip up! Cheesy and packed with veggies and protein!
Easy Philly Cheesesteak Pasta
Philly Cheesesteaks are so good! I mean, how can you go wrong with cheese, peppers and steak? Parker and I wanted to turn it into a pasta so we could have all those wonderful flavors more often. After one bite, we were hooked! You can make this pasta with any type of noodle but we had a box of Rigatoni in the pantry so that’s what we used. I like to make sure my noodles stand up to the other ingredients and are similar in size, so rigatoni or a bowtie noodle would be great. Enjoy our Philly Cheesesteak Rigatoni Pasta, it will be your new family favorite!
On a side note, Ilovemy enameled cast iron pan! It’s my go-to anytime I have to sauté and it cooks like a dream! I seriously feel all fancy like Rachael Ray! Plus, you can make and incredible cobbler in the oven with it too!
Easy Dinner Recipe
Easy pasta recipes are great to have for busy weeknights! This recipe is great because it has veggies and a protein in it, you can even double up the veggies or swap the steak for chicken if you want! The next time we make this I want to add mushrooms too! How long does this take to make… only 25 minutes! Cook the pasta while you chop the veggies and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time!
Let all your veggies cook down together and get soft!The thicker you cut the peppers the longer it will take for them to cook, so if you’re trying to make dinner fast, cut them thin! We used some leftover bell peppers in our fridge that were half used so we had a colorful pasta!
Philly Cheesesteak Rigatoni Pasta
While the veggies cook down you can start your roux (pronounced ROO). This is just a fancy french word for the start of a sauce, so don’t let it scare you! It’svery easy to do! The one trick I’ll tell you is you don’t want to rush it! The flour takes a little time to cook the taste out, so make sure it’s on the heat for a few minutes. Add the cheese sauce to the veggies and noodles and you’re done!
We topped our Philly Cheesesteak Rigatoni Pasta with a little extra cheese and popped it into the oven to keep it warm and let the cheese melt… yummm.
How can you resist? If I wasn’t typing this up at 11 at night I would be in the kitchen whipping up another batch!

This is a very easy recipe to make, but it does require some time in the kitchen. The rigatoni pasta takes about 20 minutes to cook and will be done when it’s softer than normal rigatoni noodles. The rest of the preparation can be done in a few minutes, so we won’t spend much time on that part. You have to get read more about now. The meatballs are just as easy as they are tasty and delicious too. They are mostly made with ground beef and spices, but they don’t have any actual meat in them. They’re simply coated in breadcrumbs and pan fried until golden brown on both sides. This gives them a nice crunchy exterior while still maintaining their tenderness inside.
