Five meals, 65g of protein per serve and a creamy cheesesteak sauce that coats every single piece of pasta. This is the kind of meal prep that doesn’t feel like a compromise — it tastes like something you’d order, not something you made on a Sunday to eat all week.

The beef gets properly browned before the sauce goes in — cook it undisturbed first so it builds colour rather than steaming. The onion and peppers go in early so they have time to soften and caramelise, which is where most of the flavour in the dish comes from.

The sauce is cream cheese, pasta water, mozzarella and cheese slices — keep the heat low when it goes in and don’t rush it. It comes together into something glossy and rich that clings to the beef and pasta without going heavy. Bold flavour, high protein and genuinely easy to make.
