Ingredients
– 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne works well)
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Beef Pasta:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Once the beef is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then bring to a simmer.
5. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
7. Serve Immediately: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat and serve hot.
