Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2. Cook the penne in salted water until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. 3. Heat the infused olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 4. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms, then cook until softened and lightly browned.
  5. 5. Stir in the garlic, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and thyme, then cook for 30 seconds.
  6. 6. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
  7. 7. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir for 1 minute to coat everything evenly.
  8. 8. Slowly pour in the milk and beef broth, stirring until the sauce thickens and turns glossy.
  9. 9. Add the cream cheese, provolone, mozzarella, and cheddar, then stir until the sauce is smooth and melty.
  10. 10. Fold in the cooked pasta until every piece is coated.
  11. 11. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish if needed, then top with Parmesan.
  12. 12. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until bubbling around the edges and lightly golden on top.
  13. 13. Let the pasta bake rest for 10 minutes, then finish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the pasta slightly firm before baking and let the casserole rest before cutting into it. If you want a little more topping color, broil the finished bake for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Leftover pasta bake reheats well and keeps the cheesesteak flavor going the next day.
