Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 lb ground beef
  2. 2 tablespoons butter
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  5. 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  7. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  8. 1/2 cup beef broth
  9. 1 cup heavy cream
  10. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  11. 8 ounces pasta (penne or spaghetti works well)
  12. Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and onion, and cook 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 a little extra water or broth if needed. Cover the pot and cook the pasta according to the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  • Once the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use penne, spaghetti, or any pasta you prefer.
  • If you like extra creaminess, add more Parmesan cheese or a splash of heavy cream.
  • For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
