Add cream and beef broth: Pour in heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. This forms the base of your cheesy rotini recipe.
Mix in cheeses: Add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. The rich, cheesy sauce makes this dish a standout Parmesan garlic pasta.
Combine beef and pasta: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, then add drained rotini pasta. Toss everything together until fully coated in the creamy sauce for the ultimate beef and rotini pasta.
