Creating Creamy Beef Pasta is simple if you follow these easy steps:
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. Sauté the Beef: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Brown the Beef: Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
6. Garnish: Remove from heat and top with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
7. Serve: Dish out the Creamy Beef Pasta onto plates, adding extra Parmesan if desired.
