Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces pasta (penne or spaghetti works well)
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and onion, cooking for another 2 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s covered by the sauce. Add extra water or broth if needed. Cover and cook the pasta according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Once the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy, remove from heat.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for more flavor and nutrients.
- For a leaner option, substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken.
- If you want extra heat, stir in some red pepper flakes.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
