Cook the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until browned and cooked through.
Make the sauce: Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese and milk, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add shredded provolone cheese and stir until melted.
Combine: Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating it with the cheesy beef and veggie sauce.
Serve: Garnish with extra provolone or fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
