Ingredients:

• 8 ounces penne pasta (227g)
• 1 1/4 lbs ground beef (567g)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced (227g)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can French onion soup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/3 lb coarsely chopped provolone cheese (150g)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain well.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Remove to a plate, leaving any fat in the pan.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Swirl the butter to prevent burning. Add mushrooms and cook until almost golden brown (approximately 5 minutes).
4. Add onions and peppers; cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in French onion soup and Worcestershire sauce.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk the mixture into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
7. Add the browned beef and cooked pasta to the skillet with vegetables. Add chopped provolone, cover, and melt the cheese. Salt & pepper to taste.

Notes: For a twist, try substituting provolone with your favorite cheese blend. Ensure the butter is well-swirled to prevent burning. This recipe is versatile, allowing you to tailor the flavors to your liking. Enjoy the fusion goodness!
