Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
8 oz pasta (e.g., penne, fusilli, or farfalle)
3 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
Salt and pepper to Taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1 cook the Beef: In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
2 Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3 Add the Pasta and Broth: Stir in the uncooked pasta and broth, making sure the pasta is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
4 Add the Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Return the cooked beef to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
Season & Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Enjoy 🤍
