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
2 cups heavy cream
8 oz pasta (penne or rotini work well)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Beef:
In a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 5–7 minutes).
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
3. Season:
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef with the seasonings, enhancing the flavor.
4. Add Liquids:
Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then add the pasta. Stir to combine.
5. Cook Pasta:
Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened into a rich, creamy consistency.
6. Cheesy Goodness:
Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water to adjust consistency.
7. Finish:
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
8. Serve:
Serve the pasta hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness in every bite!
Tips for the Best Creamy Beef Pasta:
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
A splash of Worcestershire sauce adds depth to the flavor.
Use rotini or penne to help the sauce cling to the pasta.
