Print Recipe Pin Recipe

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, 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.
