Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the protein pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Greek yogurt, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a consistent base forms.
  • Gradually fold in the shredded provolone cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss thoroughly to ensure all noodles are coated in the cheesesteak mixture.
  • Remove from heat immediately to prevent the yogurt sauce from curdling and serve hot.
