Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Recipe FAQs
Can I use other peppers other than green bell peppers in this pasta?
Sure! You can use any of your favorite peppers, like red or orange bell peppers or even banana peppers, in this cheesesteak pasta.
What kind of milk do I need to use in this skillet dinner?
I recommend using dairy milk in this pasta dish, preferably 2% or whole milk. Non dairy milk just won’t thicken quite as much.
Can I use Cheez Whiz instead of the shredded cheese?
While Cheez Whiz is popular on Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches, it won’t work in this pasta recipe. You want the cheese to melt into the sauce. If you’re really missing the Cheez Whiz, just add a little on top of your serving!
