Description
A simple recipe for beef pasta coated in a rich garlic and Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add minced garlic to the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat to low.
- Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the drained pasta and a splash of the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Add more pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of pasta for this dish.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
